You could simply spend about $100 for an external SSD of build yourself a massive NAS that can store over 50 TB, but online storage is the way of the future. Google Drive has been one of the leaders in the space for quite some time, offering free storage tiers to anyone who has a Google/Gmail account, allowing them to send large email attachments, store full-resolution photos in Google Photos or simply to back up important files from their smartphones or computers. Also, beware that all of those services prohibit pirated content and you may even have issues if you legally rip and upload DVDs or other media.Over the past few years, Google, Microsoft and even Apple have bene pushing cloud storage as a safe and secure method to store our data online while also allowing for quick and simple file sharing.
If you decide to try the Plex Cloud service in beta (you have to score an invitation), you'll need a $5 per month ($40 per year) Plex Pass.
Plex streaming is available on most devices including PCs, smartphones, consoles, smart TVs and dedicated streaming boxes. Users now have a lot more options, however, and many who've already tried Google Drive say it's working fine. Users who paid for a $60 yearly Amazon Cloud subscription just for Plex Cloud are concerned that the retail giant is limiting Plex access, possibly over excessive uploading. However, the company acknowledged on Reddit that "we have run into technical challenges with the Amazon Drive integration," adding that it's "working hard to resolve the issues." According to comments on the Plex forums, the problem seems to be that Plex Media devices suddenly won't sync with Amazon's Web Services after working before. When Plex Cloud first launched, it only offered support for Amazon Cloud Drive. That way, assuming you have a decently fast internet connection, you can stream your movies or songs wherever you are via files that are parked securely in the cloud. The original idea with the service, which debuted in beta this September, was to void the need for a dedicated media server or network attached storage (NAS) drives.
Plex has added support for Google Drive, OneDrive and DropBox to its Plex Cloud service.
