Hello

I would like to know if the Terabox site that offers 1024 GB of cloud storage is really safe. Is there no danger of the files ending up on the internet?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day

Hello,

Isn't there a danger of the files ending up on the internet?

After all, the cloud is essentially about storing files on the internet!

So, they will automatically be online by definition.

Moreover, at the same time, no site is 100% reliable; there is no perfect security in this field, the presence of a vulnerability is always possible on any server, and there will always be someone clever enough to find and exploit it.

Much less risk with an external hard drive.

It should also be noted that it will be impossible for the user (you, in this case…) to know remotely who is accessing them (or worse…) by redistributing them to one or more third parties.

<<The ideal is to make double backups on two hard drives in case one of the two fails.>>

Hello,

It's also important to distinguish between storage and sharing.

Aside from the fact that security can never be 100% guaranteed, aside from vulnerabilities, a server can also burn out, and that has happened before; the advantage of the Cloud is mobility and redundancy.

On the first point, of course, the Cloud has its brand, but what individual needs to host 1 TB of data?

We should also remember that a good quality 1 TB external hard drive isn't available online and costs only around fifty euros: in this light, the Cloud serves only as a backup for the backup instead of, for example, a second 1 TB hard drive.

Hello

It's true that I didn't explain myself well.

It was mainly because I have a hard drive but I would like to store my files somewhere else at the same time in case the hard drive fails.

Thank you for your replies. Have a nice day.

Hello,

It's also possible with a second external drive without going through the cloud, but it's up to you to decide what you want to do ultimately.

Have a good day too.

It's a scam, I've lost my data and I can't access the Terabox space.
