I switched from CrashPlan to Backblaze back in 2017, and wrote an article about why. In the ad, I think it was Marco Arment, mentioned that you use the web interface to your backed-up files to send links to people for download.īefore I give you the steps, let me spend a bit of time singing the overall virtues of Backblaze. The ad was for the offsite backup solution Backblaze. I learned this little tip while listening to an ad on the Accidental Tech Podcast. There’s one option that doesn’t seem to have grabbed public attention.
The last time I checked (and I’ll admit it was a long time ago) you couldn’t just right-click on a file and send the link to someone. I use Google Drive but I’ve never found OneDrive to be nearly as useful for transferring large files to people. There is Google Drive of course, and if you’ve got Office 365, you’ve already got 1TB of storage on OneDrive. These egregious changes by Dropbox caused much discussion on podcasts about alternatives to the service. Perhaps because I pay for the $120/year for 2TB of storage across all of my devices, I wasn’t very sympathetic to the free folks. I know it’s disappointing when something free starts to cost money, but the outrage was over the top in my opinion.
Earlier in the year, they changed their policies on the free accounts which caused people to lose their ever-loving minds. While we were off on vacation this summer, evidently Dropbox changed their client and it caused all kinds of problems for people.
