SO DEMANDING
Dec 27, 2003

i could really use a cloud storage thing but they're all hosed up in one way or another so i've never actually settled on one.

dropbox seemed decent ages ago but i don't hear a lot of good things lately and i don't have a lot of faith in the company itself. seriously how haven't they been acquired yet?

onedrive would be fine but the ios app does some really stupid poo poo, biggest one being the photos tab doesn't just index the photos folder, rather in indexes any and every image file anywhere in your onedrive making it kind of useless. no, microsoft, screenshots, memes, and album art aren't my loving photos. the web version of onedrive does the same thing but has an option to only show photos in the photos folder. ios app doesn't have this because ?? ???? ???

never tried google. maybe it's good? they probably won't kill it someday, right? idk.

lol at using icloud if you aren't 100% in the apple ecosystem, and even then from seeing how it performs, probably still lol

and all the other services are small-potatoes also-rans that usually fall flat on their face someway, usually really bad iOS support or weird limitations
