Thinking behind the smoke of the Net-disk war

In recent days, the cloud storage industry smudge, like a flat thunder, the network disk war suddenly in several major giants between the launch. Thanks to this World war, we can get on T free cloud space, I have been in the internet for many years, experienced 3Q, 3B and other wars, in the perspective of onlookers, for everyone to share the war on the smoke behind the thinking

The War

August 12, Jinshan Quick drive to guide cloud storage into the new era, permanent free 100G cloud space. As the fuse, the net disk war officially kicked off. August 14, 360 cloud disk began to send 360g,8 22nd, Baidu Network disk with 1T permanent space to come to the challenge, and the activity page 100g+360g+564g+1 block money is equal to 1T, is intended to suppress Jinshan free 100G and 360 of 360G; 360 again armored battle, rushed to fight, and then sent 666G, and in the micro-blog published publicly: "Then send 666G, no need 1 dollars, no tedious payment process, 1T space you take directly." And just then, some netizens found that the Huawei network has been a low profile when it has launched an unlimited cloud space services.

From the capacity, each company has a magic weapon: Jinshan Network disk sent to the 100g,360, Baidu sent 1T, the Huawei network disk to send is unlimited space. But in fact, whether it is sent 1T, or unlimited, for individual users, most of the space is not used, in the blood red eyes to collect a lot of free space, need to calm down, only the best choice for their own is kingly. In contrast to service quality, space size is not absolutely important. Just like the excelled of the time of the T-disk, 1T capacity free to send, but not long ago fell ...

As of this time, the network disk war is still in progress, through the smoke, I would like to say that I think of the network behind the war.

Why are so many giants so invested in cloud storage?

Cloud storage companies to do a dazzling range of the number of Jinshan, Huawei, Baidu, 115, Thunder 360, careful observation, nothing more than two types: one is pure internet companies, such as 360, Baidu, Thunder, 115, and another is related to Terminal Services companies, such as Jinshan network plate (millet, red rice), Huawei Network plate.

Pure Internet companies are concerned about users, traffic, data, such companies do cloud storage to control the entrance, including the previous 3Q war, 360 and Tencent between the battle, but also the most important portal for Internet companies. The so-called rejection, the internet giant into the cloud storage, send a lot of space, the purpose is to control the entrance, netting users and access to data, so as to promote other aspects and gain profits.

A while ago very popular Baidu Magic chart later stopped short, the reason is in its collection of user privacy data suspicion, the first financial director Wang Zheng in the micro-letter to remind their friends do not upload photos, he is afraid this is Baidu for their own facial recognition, face search data collection.

He said: "Baidu once established a personal facial recognition database, with mobile phone number, unit and other information linked, what will happen?" For example, after you touch a car on the elevated shelf, the other side Yang take a picture of you, you can search. For example, someone on the subway secretly photographed you a photo, you can be micro-bo, micro-letter, others with your photo, Friends Circle, your past life track all found out. As long as it is willing. ”

Companies involved in Terminal Services value the sales of terminal handsets, which are designed to serve the terminal. The current mobile phone occupies a large number of ordinary netizens time, some people predict the next 5-10 years, the mobile internet will gradually replace the PC Internet, so the company involved in the end will continue to improve the quality of the handset, and cloud storage as a mobile phone service, is closely linked with the mobile phone. They do cloud storage to improve the competitiveness of mobile phones and improve the user experience.

As netizens, how should we choose cloud services?

Through the above analysis, how do we ordinary users choose cloud storage services? My point of view, as I said at the outset, only the best for their own is the king, the Internet company's network, because its own characteristics are concerned about users, traffic, data, so the most needed for users of the "service" a ring is a soft rib, linked to a period of time before the Baidu cloud deleted file events, And the well-known Chinese Yahoo Mail stop service events, can be learned that as a storage user profile of the network, if the service is terminated or collapsed, the loss to the user is very huge. In addition, there are privacy issues, not to repeat.

Another kind of company, relative to the internet company's invisible touch, a person can see the end of the mobile phone products and services to ensure that the company more users can be assured. Mobile phone manufacturers must be assured of mobile services, and cloud storage services as a mobile phone service must be effectively protected. Users bought a mobile phone back, if found to have problems, at any time can find the corresponding service outlets to enjoy after-sales service. With this protection, the end company's cloud storage services are relatively reliable compared to internet companies.

Combined with the above, I would like to remind you: the choice of cloud services, to combine their actual situation to choose the most suitable for their own, do not be all kinds of fancy noise on the T-space propaganda fascinated eyes.
