R1200CL Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 From Techradar: Take Degoo Cloud for what it is – a backup service focused on photo uploads from mobile devices – and it scores relatively highly. If you're in the market for more sophisticated backup tools, however, then you'll probably have to look elsewhere for a solution. FOR Available on multiple mobile platforms Slick and intuitive interface Free tier with 100GB of storage space AGAINST Upload speeds can be hit and miss No desktop application, just a web app Short on serious backup features Link to comment
firedog Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 If like me, you are just looking for an off site back up of music, photos, and some files, it seems like a good solution. And that price can't be beat. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

Small print? What rights do they have over your photos? For example are they used for advertisements in other countries etc? I could go on....but not a subject for here! Link to comment

Acholate Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just found this thread, got very interested then I searched around for a review. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/degoo.com After reading these review, I think Degoo is a scam. orresearch 1 Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 For the lifetime of their service, not your lifetime... ;-) I still think that my Brother and I have devised the perfect backup solution by sharing NAS space in identical units at each others houses. A NAS that can withstand submersion in water for days, and a hot fire. If both of them are taken out, we have far larger problems to deal with. bobfa 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

I really doubt anyone would, nor am I worried about it. In fact, I don't think any criminal who broke into my house would find much to steal that they thought was valuable. Maybe my computer and a few ipads. I'll make popcorn and watch if they want to try and carry the McIntosh out of the listening room... Solstice380 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
bluesman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 From Tom’s Guide: “Degoo’s biggest selling point is its generous storage amounts, both on its free and paid plans. But the lack of desktop apps, slow support, and basic functionality all around make it a weak choice if you want to do anything more than keep a backup of your phone’s photos. That said, it’s much cheaper than most comparable services, which could be a good enough reason to choose it. It also has great built-in security.” Link to comment

With the ZFS filesystem, you can maintain hot remote mirrors (vdev) and then ala @R1200CL I use jottacloud as a backup. Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment

Jud Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 If we want to get sophisticated, some of this stuff is extremely cool. But it could run into money if you need multiple terabytes of storage: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/rclone-power-moves-for-backblaze-b2-cloud-storage/ One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
