The reason of choosing network disk and the charging mode

Recently, the major network began to compete for expansion, Baidu Network disk 1T capacity, the rapid follow-up of 360 network disk, Huawei Network disk is also used "prompts users to fill out the deletion, can achieve unlimited capacity" of sharing and storage, Jinshan fast, Sina micro-disk also followed up the increase of 100G, It seems that everyone thinks the storage capacity is large enough is the core of the competitiveness of the network disk.

From the user's point of view, network disk has always been a demand for products, but always feel that is not the space capacity of this thing, and the free service is not so reliable, from a wave of free service gradually canceled to now, this sense of unease is in the choice has been more tangled place. The size of the space is also a way to increase the attractiveness, but it is not enough for space to choose or use a network disk. Who will believe in you, who is trustworthy, the rules of business society are the principle of interest priority, I believe that you in addition to the pleasure of use, whether it can bring lasting security and stable and reliable.

From the experience of my personal use of the network, stability, continuous service capabilities, user experience, such as speed, interface vision and interaction will also affect my choice of the network disk. Service provider choice of cloud storage services, is a brand and marketing strategy, or a continuous product market strategy, this conclusion is not easy to determine whether the service provider will easily shut down the cloud storage services, but also affect your ability to affect whether you can continue to use the product and service. For example, the T-Disk before the Golden Hill closed, these elements will affect my choice of the network disk.

In the area of cloud storage, there are several ways to address the functional satisfaction and strategy of requirements:

1 I need to store and back up my local files to the cloud to solve the problem of multiple devices sharing data. Many of the cloud storage models are done in this way, tackling two types of problems, spanning devices, cross-platform access, and data usage. Second, do the cloud backup of local data, then what needs to be backed up in the cloud? In what form should data and applications be backed up in the cloud?

(1) Office document class, need to cross platform, cross equipment access, such as email, Office, PDF and other documents, to achieve sharing and synchronization, easy to access, management, revision and sharing at any time. But this kind of sharing is usually not to share the public view of the sharing, with the office of the people closely related to see the Ming Road Synergy Office Communication platform has a document center, is to solve such problems, and office of online document synchronization, WPS document storage are in the solution of such needs.

(2) Resources sharing category, the current Baidu network plate, Sina Micro-disk, Thunder fast disk, Huawei Network disk are doing this, support storage to generate public publishing links, and then support link propagation, outbound reference

(3) Personal file storage management, such as personal Notepad, contacts, albums and other related private data, such as cloud Backup and Cross-platform, multiple terminal use. In the network photo store, I always have NetEase cloud album, the reason is two, in the course of the free mailbox transfer fee mail, NetEase is one of the few big players, keep the user free mailbox service, so I would like to believe that he will hold this piece even if there is no big development will not easily give up (although a bit wishful thinking, But only as a reference for the user's judgment. The second is, NetEase Cloud album storage more stable, I used five or six years, the data security and integrity can be more secure, and later I also use a paid version, data storage quality is more reliable.

2 Share your own online files

Starting from the file transfer station of QQ mailbox, the remote point-to-point sharing of files is more and more accepted by users and widely used. Uploading the files you need to share to the cloud, generating shared links through the cloud to share with others, or even publish them, is an important reason for online file storage. It is the main function of this mode of application, whether it is public-oriented sharing, or a specific user group sharing, sharing and collaborative operation and Management.

3 Unified management of their own application data

Do software back-end cloud storage and data services. What kind of concept, that is, I use a software on the PC and on the phone also use this software, I want to operate the records and data are unified real-time synchronization, that is, applications and data can be separated. Application developers are not able to maintain a high stability and high reliability of a cloud data services platform, if this part by the existing cloud service providers to do, and developers several energy to do the application-side experience and innovation, is undoubtedly a winning choice. such as seven cows, such as service providers are doing this.

At present, there are several types in the core charging strategy of the network disk.

1 pay by space, that is, if you don't have enough space, you can spend money to buy space, almost all of the disk storage is the case.

2 pay for value-added services, such as space storage files, provide an external sharing mechanism, according to the external sharing of the validity period or share the flow of billing.

3 in accordance with the upload bandwidth to pay, free space limited to a certain period of time to upload a certain amount of files, if you want to use more upload bandwidth, you need to pay. Is it possible to make a pay model for special functions?

4 provides a cloud of backend data storage for application vendors to pay through software vendors.

The future is to be considered for inclusion:

1 for cloud file parsing, online browsing and using this feature to pay. For example, need to see some document epub or CAJ format, need to support cloud parsing, that this function can open development, pay to use.

2 to the cloud data for in-depth analysis and full-text search, to achieve the deep application of file and management of the payment. Cloud data management, at present all the home does not how, data a lot of chaos, search function is weaker, this block in addition to a number of proprietary applications, such as Notepad software, Address Book software, can provide solutions, other products are not, and in the Evernote full-text search, searching packaging files and so on

3 system embedded interface to pay for, for example, with collaborative office, intranet and other application scenarios embedded depth, and the interface to pay.
