Comparison of online storage tools and self-developed online storage tools

 

From your own point of view, online storage has the following advantages:

1. you can back up important files to "Cloud" to prevent data loss caused by hard disk crashes. for the storage space provided by Google and Microsoft, their security and stability are much higher than their own hard disk storage. from this perspective, it is actually a safer home for your data.

2. you can access required files anytime, anywhere. it is estimated that everyone has had the experience of copying files everywhere with a USB flash drive and a mobile hard drive. They wrote a document at home, got the company, changed it, and brought it home ...... The last one is the latest. but with tools like online storage, You can discard the USB flash disk. because files are stored in the cloud, they can be accessed from any client.

3. Some network disks also provide sharing, file editing, conversion, and other functions. It is very practical.

At present, there are several online storage tools in China, such as 163, QQ, and nano disks. However, they are limited in use, have a small space, and cannot be stored for a long time. They are not practical. I don't need it either.

Currently, the following are some of the better network disks (which are free of charge and will not be charged ):

1. SkyDrive

Microsoft Live product. 25 GB free space !! I once again lamented the wealth of M $. Office documents can be seamlessly integrated with live office. Stable.

Disadvantage: files cannot be transferred in batches. If you want to transfer a directory with multi-level sub-directories, It is very troublesome.

2. Google Docs

This was originally a powerful tool Google used to combat MS Office. facts have proved that it has attracted many users. previously, documents such as office could only be stored, but they were not suitable for online storage. However, in September of this year, restrictions were released to store any types of files. it is extremely powerful and is currently the best in all cloud storage. because cloud computing is Google's strength.

Disadvantage: there is only 1 GB free space, and there are basically enough office files to store.Program, Photos, etc.

Similarly, it is very inconvenient to store multi-level directories.

3. Adobe Acrobat Document Service

This is a major platform for Adobe Acrobat to implement its cloud computing. It integrates cloud storage, online collaboration, and document management.

5g free space. Almost any file can be transferred. claim that the file size is not limited. I will test it. Like SkyDrive, there is a problem with files larger than 50 m.

Disadvantage: only single files are supported. Multi-Level directories are not supported.

4. Microsoft Live Mesh. Home page: http://www.mesh.com /. Microsoft is still in the testing stage. Its powerful synchronization tool not only supports file synchronization, but also supports remote login to client machines. It is very advanced in concept. Free storage space 5 GB.

The disadvantage is that it is still in the testing phase, not very stable, not intuitive to use, and the synchronization speed is slow.
I have never used Live Mesh, live sync, and azure platform of. Ms.

Clouddrive, a self-developed online storage tool, will be launched below!

It is actually a cloud storage client that uses Adobe Acrobat's free 5g storage space. You need to download it to your local computer and install it. The biggest advantage of using this tool is:

1. Drag folders or files directly to the clouddrive window, and then upload them in batch in the background without affecting other operations.

2. Completely free, green, no plug-ins.

3. The tool is small, the installation package is more than 1 MB, and the system resources occupied are also very small. Because it is implemented using Win32 API (it is useless even MFC)

4. The current speed is about 60-kb/s, which is not bad.

If you are interested can use: http://www.driveoncloud.com/, currently only English version, version 0.68, later versions will support Ms, Google and other storage space.
