i don't understand why people keep complaining phone storage not enough. dO YoU GuYs NoT hAve ClOuD SToRaGe?

i keep all my shit on my shitty 2021 128gb iphone with 2TB family icloud subscription (USD9.99 a month). every photo gets uploaded immediately. I never run of of space despite having thousands of full res videos.

and I never worry about losing my phone. if I did lose it, a restored iphone with all my data is in my hand within 2 hours.

ok... i will try to remember this. tq

ok sheep

ok noted

That’s 50 ringgit every month, means 600 ringgit per year subscription.
I would think it is expensive.

i don't even need to, i wrote my own app and host it and free cloud storage upload back to my server. anytime also can restore. 8tb is dirt cheap to buy this days

i share with 3 family members. the alternative to insufficient memory is buying a large phone but it's not safe (lose your phone, lose your data) and also cumbersome to backup every day.

not wise also.. if you have kids and take videos everyday, 1TB phone also not enough. cloud storage basically unlimited.

Yeah, paid for one drive, but how to setup

congrats you genius. but most people value convenience. once i realize how convenient it is to use airpods (like pop up case, immediately gets connected via bluetooth), i never look at other brands anymore, despite having a cheaper price tag or better sound quality. the smooth user experience cannot be replaced. you gonna write a custom app and back up manually every day? not for me.

Epal: tq for your data

Even with 200GB iCloud and 1TB OneDrive I still need a 256gb phone at least. For my offline music and videos.

change to iphone and all your problems go away.

Protip: don't use iPhone

havent u heard of scripts?

3.90 a month for 50gb. The cheapest storage that Apple sells.
My ipong is 128gb and it is not even half filled after almost 2 years.

Does Apple monetize user data? Genuine question. Or what are you worried about?

They can just use it internally no?

Buy the cloud storage and you are on their mercy,they can increase price and you are virtually stuck with them.
And how confident are you that the storage content won’t be compromised?
Later your nude photo leak out. Hahaha

Been there done that.
Living worry free since upgraded to 2tb.
Some more can share with few people.

you speak like everyone knows how to write a custom app. i don't ever want to deal with the hassles like making sure it's working over time (despite ios updates), granting permission and maintenance of my own data storage. how sure are you that your back up file will work? and how optimized is the compression? apple spends billions on research and engineering. i'd gladly pay $10 a month for a solution that works.

ah. macam ni rupanya fikiran applefag.

iCloud backups are end to end encrypted I think so they can’t see it. I think photos they can see they wanted to start automated scanning for CP but got push back. But aside from that they can’t really see a lot of these personal data.

fappening happened because people used easy to guess passwords and 2FA wasn't a requirement back then. it's not icloud's fault. if it is, people would be bringing apple to courts.

ever noticed no more fappening happened after that? it's a lot more secured now.

Kecian bayar je la.

i didnt, if you know how to do all the technical stuffs and save some money why not? but if u dun know, then pay for the convenience la, did i say your approach sucks? lol

Crazy how apple used to sell 16gb iPhones

This reply, TS.

Apparently, some people is so in the hurry in their life, more hurrier than me who earn berlambaks per month.

Even I dun went ahead and get thouse Amazon prime, Yutub premium, whatever subs, and you yourself that's poor like fuark went and subs everything like its all fun to take installment plans.

Sohai or no-hai, I really cannot brain.

No wonder people like TS is sheeples. What's next? Buy a Mercedes and pay for vroom vroom subs to drive past 120km/j instead of a potong zakar that can anytime tapow 150kmj?

isnt there a new tech

where you can insert a few hard drives and make it into a server just at the back of your router ?

U bought the most expensive phone on the market still pay apple monthly. What dumb reasoning is this

Once stored, bila bila naik harga also can.

Later kena hacked, pura-pura said tak tahu.

kek. the Fappening icloud hack anyone?

2tb for 10usd is expensive la ts.
2tb ssd are now around 73usd already.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050054383...id=zwZeH7tcgj5o

Kekwa
Only ifags being okay getting charged a premium more for shit others already get earlier or at a more competitive price.

Perfect waterfishes. Apple's marketing department really god level.

Sorry wont be taking advise from someone appointed by his own mum to keep rm100k in fd as her safekeeper.

Yinstead go blew it on a stock market and lose 40% of it lmao

Totally not a trustable person at all teda moral punya worank

Puikk!!

Sorry noob here. I subscribe OneDrive and iCloud. But don’t know how to properly use. Normally I just upload it manually and then delete in the phone. How about auto sync? Is it auto delete photos inside the phone after uploaded into cloud server?

This post has been edited by POYOZER: Jun 25 2023, 08:54 PM

I just need to auto backup both my phone, but one drive no such option, saperate backup
I don want sync both device, just need backup to saperate folder

No thanks ill stick to my google one drive

But cloud storage csnnot install genshin impact

just turn on auto sync in your phone's settings. make sure you turn on auto back up also. so everything will be backed up, not just the media. for the photos and videos, your phone will automatically make them online only. your phone automatically download only when you want to view. then remove again when you've finished loading. no need to manually upload.

There may have auto upload/sync, but there shouldn't be auto delete after upload as of now, maybe in future they'll add auto delete after uploaded.

my mum where got 100k only? she is richer than I do as a pesara. salah orang la.

(not ifag user)

can iphone backup to google?
planning to jump to apple fanboy soon, would like to sync the same backup instead of 2 different clouds

sure have auto delete la.. else no point moving online. one of the benedits is to save space, the other is back up. but technically not delete, it's called making the files online or offline. Offline means both your phone and cloud have it. online means only cloud.

I concur with TS about the convenience and ease of use of the Apple ecosystem. My AirPods Max is just like your AirPods. Take it out from case and it will immediately connect to my active Apple device. No need to fumble around.

Let say if I take the photo, then it will auto sync & backup into cloud, after that it will auto delete that photo inside the phone?

i've only used icloud for my iphone. too lazy to research on other solutions like dropbox or google drive. although icloud works on macbooks. i prefer to use dropbox for my macbook though. it's less important than my phone and I really like the smart sync feature that allows me to restore files to whichever version i like. it's also significantly faster than icloud.

yes, although the right term is not delete. photos will still be clickable on your phone. but when you tap on it, only the low res version will show immediately, then wait 1~2 seconds for the full res to complete sync. when move to antoher photo, the high res version gets removed again.

sure have auto delete la.. else no point moving online. one of the benedits is to save space, the other is back up.
No auto delete. Manual delete. But it's a good idea, so maybe in future.

but technically not delete, it's called making the files online or offline. Offline means both your phone and cloud have it. online means only cloud.
This is right.

Low res kept on phone but if it’s a recent photo I think will have high quality.

You can also opt to keep it locally in additional to cloud

took 50gb icloud just to backup whatsapp.
and it doesnt work. till now cant backup whatsapp.
apada........

Later kena fappening baru u tau.

I still dun trust personal data/photo in cloud service.

Very dumb response sorry.

iCloud is not just for photo videos. WhatsApp is uploaded there too.

The average person won’t be having their own server and writing scripts and custom app.

Also let’s not get into data replication.

And iCloud is synced between iPad and Mac too. Ya gonna tell me your script gonna do that too?

What if ur cloud server storage failure ? Everything gone?

maybe he is able to produce a script that is as good as the built-in icloud auto back up function leh? the software that apple spent millions if not billions to build. also, able to work with ios updates.

This post has been edited by tolongking: Jun 25 2023, 09:32 PM

sad to say.... maybe it's user problem cos mine is okay. if media important, save it to photos then you can have a back up cos all photos are synced.

Use Google Photos app on iPhone, can backup to Google. Using 'saver' settings, so far stored quite a lot with free Google acc. And with Google photos, there is a search function, super convenient can search for people , items, places, etc.

It’s rm40 for Malaysia price

jenifer lawrence and friends said same thing...

For those using iPhone, rm50 is just another meal.

wow, didnt expect my simple 1 line reply can trigger hardcore apple sheeps so much until write an essay to counter me bck

feeling so insecure huh? yaya you very smart i get it

btw im not gonna pay close to a thousand of ringgit a year to sync data across my phone, laptops, tablets etc, there are many free alternatives out there , but well i guess apple users are rich so they wouldnt mind paying so much for convenience , and also they seems to be short on EQ also

2TB storage let say SSD about RM300-500 one time.
With cloud storage 2TB is RM45 per month or RM540 per annum.

Let say you use for next 30 years, you will spend RM16k for subscription.
Meanwhile the physical storage you bought still RM300-500 (let say with lifespan of 10 years for physical storage), so RM500*3=RM1500.

So in 30 years, total cost for cloud storage is 10x higher.

Also note that physical storage /GB is cheaper over time but cloud storage service does not drop price over time (in fact may increase).

Sometimes can sometimes cannot right? Or need to click “Backup now” then only can work?

This one Whatsapp problem, I tried restore backup from GDrive last time also like corrupt file. Total lost smh

kek onedrive only rm180/year with 1tb shareable to 6 different accounts and comes with microsoft office 365.

I am using Huawei ...and cloud service 1 TB is only RM84 per year.

talk cock lah you. even the cheapest centOS server from vultr is USD2.5 a month. don't tell me it'll be cheaper if you host your own server using your home unifi.

then you gonna write the app that can sync with your own server without bugs? like as good as the native app? backup every new photo the instance you take it that kind of good. and deal with the maintenance whenever there is an os update? get out of here

if you're talking about offline back ups...... man we're not in 2009 anymore. this is why we pay RM50 a month for a family package to do real time automatic cloud back ups. imagine the time wasted everyday just to manually transfer your photos. from one place to another. you do it every week, risk of losing a week worth of photos if you lose your phone. even when you do it every week, it becomes a major hassle. can you do it religiously, non stop for 10 years?

Sound interesting how's the experience? Is the connection and uploads reliable and fast? Privacy?

Let me check shopee any unlimited storage icloud account

i rather pay haha let them sort out the backup... i just use.... unless you got sexy picture inside then ownself host lo

the most expensive thing is :

Become a power user.


in tech era, equipe high-level software-skill is just like having superpower.

not just everything become smooth..
you even can do what average human cant even imagine.

just like becoming mutant.


this is become more and more real after the emerge of AI...
our mutant power level just tripple fold.

I’m a strong supporter of this. Shared across 5 family members.. supporting across multiple iPhones, iPads etc. if phone hilang, I can still sleep well at night 😁

my whatsapp 200gb also cant backup..

Is Onedrive able to backup every single camera picture/video after being taken? I'm comparing this to Google One which is around RM10/month (annual plan) for 200GB.

One thing I like about Google Photos is that almost all my family members has a google account so I can easily add them to a shared family folder for all the pictures/videos

You sure are short on IQ. It’s rm40 a month for 2TB and that’s rm480 a year.

That’s not even half of a thousand but somehow it’s “close to a thousand”. I called your response dumb because you oversimplified everything, and you said I lack EQ and triggered instead.

You’re the one with low EQ and IQ.

This post has been edited by trojandude: Jun 25 2023, 10:25 PM

I love the convenience of cloud storage as well but really I take so many 4k videos and they take a ton of space which I think 2TB will be full in a few years time. I'm on Android btw

i'm a programmer i agree with you. now with chatgpt i code a lot faster than before. but you don't create everything yourself la.. the backup app is very complicated. you have to deal with schedules (cron?), conflicts, compression, different file types, then encryption, haven't even go into maintenance and debugging.. walao. I'd just pay USD10 a month and get a piece of mind. its USD3.33 per person when it's shared with 3 family members.

USD is American region pricing. It’s RM40 a month in Malaysia actually.

Can consider AppleOne subscription too because it comes with Apple Music (can switch from Spotify or YM. The bundle is pretty bang for buck.

I personally don’t like AM UI so I stick with just iCloud plan.

wow. apple one is RM78.9 / month. i didn't know. for RM40 more you get apple music + apple tv. i also wouldn't get it cos entertainment is non essential. real time back up is essential for me. the peace of mind is priceless. i don't worry about losing my phone anymore. just get a new one and you're good to go. at most lose a few thousand riggits. and I'd get the one with the lowest memory.

Instead of paying rm600/year for Icloud storage like a sheep, this is what i do.
1. Buy a SSD.
2. Purchase Photo Transfer App at price of RM80 (lifetime subscription).
3. Whenever my storage is full (256 gb phone storage can last me for 2-3 years), I just need to transfer the photos & videos to SSD. No need to do this regularly, just once every few years.

There you, save yourself thousands of RM.

what if you lose your phone? 2-3 years back up once means the last 2-3 years data gone. memories can't get back anymore even with all the $$ in the world.

icloud if not the worst cloud among the big cloud.


previously iphone user

give up for its discriminative Windows support
( itune, icloud on windows are just an insult to us as user)

but Google drive app work in iPhone..
at 1/10 price.
and Google Drive is so much more better than iCloud.

Feels like this response just shows you don’t know what iCloud and Google Cloud offers and how it’s vastly different from what you’ve described

park since i want to share subs to my wife's 2tb account

The good memorable ones will be up on FB or IG already. Even if I save all the photos for the past few years, I had never look back at the photos. There’s literally tens of thousands of photos. Never bother.

different folks different strokes. i have a kid i look after and I wouldn't even wanna lose 1 sec of any footage. now she is 6 years old i regret not taking more videos when she was younger.

The worth of a service is very much dependent on its perceived value.
I don’t think it’s worth paying the money for convenience and auto cloud storage.
Just because I don’t think it’s worth doesn’t mean I don’t understand what it offers.

Very good point

Ayam old fashioned. For me;
1. the cloud = someone else’s computer
2. ecosystem = vendor lock-in

Prefer platform-agnostic open source solutions. Got a RaspberryPi-FreeNAS-Nextcloud instance running for personal stuff, with some added Cryptomator encryption for the important shit. Takes a few more steps, but nothing a simple iOS/iPadOS Shortcut or Linux cron job can’t sort out.

EdiT: I do use cloud storage for my company - Tresorit business account - mainly for the collab options.

Already people compared and surveyed that MS 365's yearly RM350++ is the most worth it compared to all other providers out there.

Mahal weii.. ayam poorfeg dun mampu

tried all the methods from internet, none work
so just start from scratch at the new phone.

maybe.
so now i am left with empty chats.
chats and groups still there, just empty.

Uncle agreed with you

No need keep offline bah.
Uncle also know use stream….

Idk why some grandfathers on here dont use cloud storage. I’ve literally read 4-5 comments on older threads of people saying they dont use cloud or dont trust cloud storage LOL who tf is interested in looking at your oldman selfies and porn history?

Actually back up in external hardisk is very dangerous move…uncle not recommend

Better it do happens…apple have a lot money to pay me

iCloud expands all apple devices storage, including uncle mac and iphone ipad…

Storage in external ssd is dangerous, as the data do not have property locked from access…anybody can pick up your ssd and read the data inside

Very normal.

Uncle also don’t understand how icloud works before this

Until uncle children teach uncle…

Then uncle start to experience the magic and hassle/worry-free storage….

Now uncle everyday study about it
