Hey all

My Mom (who was my offsite backup) threw away all my external drives in a mental episode, and then I lost all the files on my Mac when I upgraded to the latest OS. Needless to say, I’m unhappy and want to make sure I have a solid, dedicated backup of my data through a cloud or backup program to prevent this from happening again. Right now, what I have left is data scattered across multiple cloud platforms, and it’s a mess.

I basically want an external drive on which to store my personal music, photos, docs etc, but on the internet. I REALLY don’t want to use a cloud that syncs to my devices, just like you wouldn’t want your external drive to do. But I don’t wanna not be able to see/work with my data or pay extra to download my files either.

Is there a cloud or backup program that could work like this? I’ll have to download everything off various clouds, use some sort of deduplication program, and then have to re-upload them to the backup program…

TYSM!
