Cloud Service - which suits my needs

[Bushwack44]

I use Windows 10 at home, Windows 7 in the office and an Android phone.

I'm most concern with backing up my home files (about 700GB which includes photos).

Secondary concern is accessing a file from the office (i.e. pdf or Excel) that was created at home. Currently, when working on a file from home and then later in the office, I copy it to a thumb drive, then upload it on the office computer.

Lastly, I'd like to download (or read a pdf, Excel or Word file) on my Android phone via the cloud.

I'm leaning towards Microsoft's OneDrive. I don't mind paying 60..70..$80/year for any cloud service as long as it makes me efficient.

Question though,...if I store my files on my home computer, does the cloud application automatically upload the files (as a back-up) to the cloud? Or am I suppose to store all my files (expect applications) in the cloud and just use the computer for applications installations?

Thanks for your help.

Carbonite.

Microsoft cloud is as good as Edge and Windows 10, which is horrible.

Try iDrive. It offers everything you're looking for, including automatic backups from your devices and a client which runs on your PCs and phone, so all your devices are covered.

Here's a tip, sign up for Dropbox premium for $10 for the month, then "switch" to iDrive and you'll get 5 TB of storage for a year for $7. The ongoing price after the first year is $70 per year, which is still a great deal for 5 TB of cloud storage.

Carbonite is good but have you ever looked at a synology? Personally like it due to the different apps that can be used. Might be a little far out of your comfort zone though.
