Looking for recommendations for cloud provider jobbies for backing up misc data. I use Sugarsynch now which seems OK though their interface is a bit, errrm, crap. I'm paying $75 pa for 250gb and never had any bother.

What are other people doing these days?

Microsoft - 100 quid a year for Office 365 and 1TB of OneDrive for yourself and 1TB each for 5 other people, with whom you can also share the office installs. Unbeatable value if you need Office and not far from unbeatable if you don't. Google One now gets me 2TB for the same yearly cost that I can share with my family, but doesn't get them 1TB each of their own.

I can second the MS thing, it is great value really and means you get all the latest Office stuff on laptops and tablets etc.

+1 Office 365 subscription.

Home or business?

Home, 365 is £60 a year for a personal subscription (1 user, multiple devices) and £80 for a home (up to 6 users now).

Business, £100+ though for £55 (inc vat. UK prices obviously) you can get 365 Essentials which while doesn't contain the desktop Office apps, you get web versions of them plus the 1TB of storage and Exchange, SharePoint & Teams.

If you're a Windows user you've got integration into Windows, syncing to OneDrive, plus you can use OneDrive on the phone to sync photos.

If a business need to backup something from a server maybe, then perhaps look at Amazon's storage options. Glacier is a cheap option that scales well. Costs added for retrieval and queries and is slow access, but it's designed as an archive storage.
