[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.

My Microsoft 365 Family subscription ends on October 7, 2029. I also pay for 200 GB of Google One storage. I get unlimited photo storage with Amazon Prime and, for some reason, also pay for their 100 GB of video storage. Not to mention backups on four external SSDs and countless pen drives and memory cards. I dropped my laptop a decade ago and damaged the hard drive with photos on it that I hadn't backed up in three years. I've been overly cautious ever since.

I always buy my yearly subscription from Amazon or Argos as it usually is only 49.99. Means I can give my family a 1TB each of backup storage too.
