[BACKUP] Microsoft One Drive or Google One

[GoanGeek]

Hi

Lovely people.

What back up solution are you using?

I have always used Google One.

Pros:

• Cheaper
• Its google so easy backup for all my stuff and easy to recover.
• It just works

This year I have decided to try One Drive 

As there was an offer on Microsoft 365 family on Argos for £50 odd pounds for family of 6 and us having all samsung I thought id give it a go. 

Pros

• Can get all your family on board with 1 TB each
• You get the whole Microsoft office suite for everyone 
• Photo back and recovery
• Also has a vpn which I am using and free defender app for your mobile.

Would love to to know what you guys are using and why?

So I have both google and Microsoft now.

It's another reluctant subscription...but the 2tb Google One plan... I have all my photos in there already so continued with it.

Used to have VPN too but they discontinued that.

Integrates well with most things

[GoanGeek]

Yeah google just loves to kill off stuff like the VPN

So you got the 2tb AI option?

[GusB]

No not the AI, just regular

[GoanGeek]

Ok. Yeah the AI one is a monthly sub

I have got Microsoft 365 personal plan (no family) which gives me 1 TB  of storage,just have the basic Google one at the moment.  (100 GB).

Argos has a great offer on the MS365 still for only £49.99 . I belive you can stack them as well.

I have google one 100gb as well.

Any preference between the two?

[JAMES4578]

Oh right, each has their uses. Think Microsoft offers a bit more for my needs.

Hi @GoanGeek 

I use Samsung Cloud to back up my phone. 

I use Dropbox to back up my photo's.

So you are all in on Samsung?

What happens if you wanna try a google Pixel or other android phone ?

For me google One helps with that.
