S3 is a file storage system for big data Amazon.
At the time of writing, I’m already using S3 to host my personal blog, which I migrated to Octopress recently. I think the price of $10/month for 60GB of storage is quite reasonable and that’s probably enough space for me to also store the big stuff like photos and some videos.īefore going with Dropbox, I wanted to explore Amazon’s S3 option. I don’t really like Box or Google Drive as much, since both seemed less reliable and buggy, but perhaps that’s just me. It’s also a great way to work with large files with a team.
I use to for doing writing on different devices in different places and times. Dropbox is really simple and syncs well across multiple devices. Everything Apple, like iPhoto, but let’s leave that point aside for now.) Why’s of Storing Your Data with Amazon’s S3 vs Dropboxįor personal data, I’m a big fan of Dropbox for managing my business and life critical documents. (Admittedly I’m increasinly nervous about how my data is tied up with any vendor-specific program, i.e. So, you want your photos safely guarded in AWS S3? In this post, I’d like to talk about an exploratory attempt at backing up my iPhoto Library to S3. Once you get to a lot of data though, you’re going to have pay something. Others require a bit of an evaluation of price vs. Some are both the best in terms of ease of use and in terms of price (i.e. Cloud computing is already outpacing traditional data workloads, but cheaper prices will help the public cloud get ever closer to becoming the norm for all our storage needs.I’ve been on a bit of an obcessive exploration of new storage options for my data. Google and Amazon both dropped prices for their respective cloud services in March - Google offers customers 15 GB of storage per month for free, while Amazon charges $0.03 per GB per month for its S3 cloud service, which is a favorite among developers (Dropbox included).ĭropbox, Google and Amazon driving down their prices for cloud services will hopefully result in more companies doing the same Apple's iCloud, in particular, offers less space than Dropbox, Google, and Microsoft for more money each month.īut with more cheap cloud services, we could see greater adoption rates push companies to focus on optimizing their infrastructure in the cloud. While Dropbox’s Pro service is now significantly cheaper than it once was, the company is also trying to keep up with Google and Amazon, two giant cloud companies that continue to slash their prices.
