In the process of pulling my files from Google Drive. I'll go through the stuff see what I want to keep. Then move it to Dropbox and Mega. Eventually I'll phase out Dropbox once I get a Raspberry Pi and an external drive or two.

@pkimpton what are you doing? Want get rid of Google and switch to Dropbox?

@rakor Dropbox is temporary til I can make more space on Mega and get a Raspberry Pi and some external drives for it. I just have more space on Dropbox currently. Just not flattening my Google Drive account without backing up my stuff.

@pkimpton but remember that Ethernet on the raspberry uses internally USB which makes it not the best choice for a Fileserver. The interface has not the power you could expect.

@rakor Either that or a cheap desktop unit. Either way it'll still be accessible remotely to download or upload stuff remotely.

@pkimpton I have an APU2 running for network services. Neat device

@pkimpton and as it has 3 Ethernet devices you can use it to build dmz and gateways

@rakor nice. Since I'm living with roommates not going crazy for a setup. So as minimal as I can the better. Why I'll be taking advantage of Mega for the most part. And anything important off a device at home with an ssh connection.

@pkimpton next hint from me. For doing online backups I really like restic. Really nice tool for encrypted backups
