Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn’t too big (about 2-3TB) that I’d like to store on the cloud since I’ll be moving in the future and don’t think I can handle multiple hard drives.

What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?

Thanks!

Oh absolutely, I was just wondering about the way I should do it: encrypt the entire thing into a binary blob, or each piece of media encrypted separately?

I like cryfs for this purpose:

Cryptomator is far more mature for this purpose with far better cross platform support: https://cryptomator.org/

encrypted separately like by album you can, even have rclone change the name and use hashes then it does not matter what you use long as they’re keep your data safe. also it is best to keep a copy in the EU and US if you can.

This is very helpful! I would certainly be interested in something like that. How do you manage your encryption keys, and do you rotate them regularly? What does the process look like for you? The idea of changing metadata and hashing them is very appealing.
