Comment on Ask HN: Using S3 for personal data backup?parent

Comments

I absolutely, positively second DropBox. It integrates seamlessly, and you may have 100GB for only $200 a year.

But th best thing is that you can try it for free: it gives you 2GB initially, and an additional 250MB (up to 10GB) for each new user you refer. (E.g. if you apply via this link, I'll get an additional 250MB: http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTIxMzc2ODk _hint hint ;)_ )

Thanks! I've been introducing dropbox to friends too (not just because of the referral=) ) It just works. However, I was wondering whether it's cheaper to use S3 instead, since I intend to store around 200 GB worth of files.

Cut these bloody referal links.

And I would -not- recommend DropBox for critical backup files. First, they can read all content. Second, they got some problems with large folders or system directories.
