Am I the only one storing porn online??? ok, I found a site that allows me to store my porn movies and pictures online (msamazing.com), I told my friends and a few have tried it while some are skeptical. Is anyone else open to this? Haven't had any problems as yet and I have access to it from any computer including my ipad. Am I crazy for using this. | |

We're going to allow this thread but with some reservation. This is several times (in the short time you've been here) that you've mentioned this service. Any more and I'll start to think you here to promote that site ... which of course, couldn't be true.

You may need to check if that is within the terms & conditions of the sites you get the porn from. "Personal use" may not include uploading it to another site even if you are the only one with access to it (presumably their staff have access too?"

I generally stay out of the discussion here. That said, I think you've read in another thread that most users here do not trust storing their porn on someone else's service. Personally, I'd never use an online service to store porn or anything else. But hey, that's just me.

I wouldn't want to use such a service, but that's just me. I don't think online storage would ever be something most people would consider. Considering the long-term cost in subscribing to such a service, it would probably be cheaper in the long run to just get an external drive and be done with it. Also, storing videos online means you will eventually need to transfer them back to view. This takes time to stream or DL and you are at the mercy of the server resource. If someone were to offer such a service for free or a nominal fee, I would be extremely weary. Danger, Will Robinson.  You have access to your uploaded content but the owners of the server will too. Such a deal would represent a Porn Pirate's wet dream--everyone handing you all their porn they have gathered over the years. You get to view it for free, sell it, distribute it, or use it for spam marketing. | |

I've been pretty vocal in saying that cloud based systems are by design not to be trusted because your personal data is not stored in your system. The other problem with this kind of system is that you use up bandwith to download the data and then use more bandwith to upload it. That's a huge problem for someone like me who's limited to only 120 Gig per month. You couldn't imagine how quickly you can eat those bandwith. We are only January 16 and I've already used up 106 Gig because I joined a site that had a lot of streaming content. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

True. You never know how secure the servers would be on such a site. The site originally referenced by the op does not strike me as overly professional. Would I be comfortable giving my cc number and data to a site that looked like it was thrown together in five minutes using an html editor published in 1995? Basically, no. | |

I don't care if a company comes up with an ultra secure server for their Cloud based system because my fear is not that someone from the outside will get access to my info but the actual owner of the server. I'll never join Facebook because my gut feeling is that the guys behind that system are gigantic greedy fuckers who don't have a problem in using my personal info for their own ends and also have no problem tracking my internet usage when I'm not on their site.

I feel the same way as Pat. I would not entrust my stash to a cloud based system. THEY can get at it and view it. My porn remains with me and my heavily encrypted externals!  | |

It's an interesting concept even though it's impractical for anything but pictures. I just noticed that amazon is offering all its customers a product called Cloud Drive. You get 5 Gbytes of storage for free. In the US and other countries, you may upgrade at a price of 1 USD per Gbyte per year : you pay 50 USD, you get a 50 Gbyte cloud drive for a year; 1,000 USD, 1 TByte for a year. I browsed the terms and conditions and it looks like that when signing up you are saying that you own the copyright of the content you upload and that you give Amazon full rights for accessing the files; not the ideal scenario for storing my porn. | |

^Your example is why I know my data is not safe and can be accessed by other people than me. There is no such thing as free storage so if a company tells you it's free then they somehow have to be making money from the your data. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Free Storage is usually used as an incentive to join or purchase some other product. The cloud networks popping up now do serve a useful purpose, but not so much for just raw storage. For example, I use Apple Cloud to backup and synch content on my ipad, ipod, and iphone. As storage is limited on the iphone, you can just connect to the cloud and retrieve what you wish for the day or week. I have over 40 GIG of music and audio books I have purchased. I can store it all on my ipod classic but this would never fit on the other devices. This is where the cloud comes in handy. Amazon also offers a similar network where you can download your purchased content to the kindle fire. As far as storing porn images or videos, I wouldn't do it. I think it's in the aggreement terms you click on that you can't upload any copyrighted content or transfer it to a thrid party. The site owners probably wouldn't be too thrilled with the idea and the services like Apple and Amazon don't want to get into any potential legal troubles. With the prevalence of porn, they are probably looking out for this content being stored on their servers. I suspect this would get deleted pretty quick and you might get thrown off the service. | |

^This may sound like a dumb question but since I don't own a cellphone than my understanding may be off. Wouldn't uploading/downloading data to a Cloud based system eat up your allowed data transfer when it comes to your cellphone service provider? Now if you are at home than I guess you use your internet provider but on the raod then aren't you using cellphone provider? Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Not dumb. Smart consumer question. Cloud service requires a connection to the net obviously so any data transfer will be charged. Most folks with an iPhone or tablet have unlimited or high net plans so it really isn't a big concern. It's not like you download your content everyday so its not a major issue. I usually just pull down audiobooks or movies when on the road. | |

Security is my number-one concern when I choose a provider or web host. You never know the level of attention that a site places on their internal security or how up-to-date their virus defintions are. Sony is a prime example of this. I always pay close attention to security on my own PC--I never use password auto-fills or PW form-fills. This is easy target for hackers, as they spend a lot of time researching the script that runs this type of utility. It's best to never auto-store passwords. I also have one dedicated credit card I use for online purchases. I opened it specifically with the intent of using it online. You want to keep the credit limit low on this type of card--no more than you think you would need for subscriptions or casual purchases online. It's also in everyone's best interest to sign up for those Electronic Banking features that synch with your smart phone. Most banks offer this feature now and it's usually free. Whenever a transaction is made on any account you own, you get a real-time instant alert with a message in your drop-down box with all the details. | |

pat, Most if not all decent "smart" phones have the ability to connect to a home/public wireless network. So you wouldn't necessarily have to use any cellular data to transfer files to and from your phone (or tablet). Many people use the cloud for music, photos and such and sync only when they can do so via wifi. I think cloud data is handy for many things, file storage/transfer, music, etc. I wouldn't put anything personal there however, and porn is pretty personal.

^Part of why I asked about data transfer using a cellphone was because I saw a commercial where the person did just that. Like I said. My understanding of cellphone and the rates people pay is next to nothing but I was always under the impression that unless you paid some pretty high cost then you were limited to how much data you could transfer.

I wouldn't trust online storage with anything sensitive/valuable. However I have used them to temporarily store files that I've password encrypted before uploading. Of course that means you would have to download them and decrypt them before being able to view/play the files which may not suit everyone's purpose.

You may be limited to how much data you can download via the cell network, but they don't limit you on wifi. I have friends with smartphones that use pay-as-you go plans with no data plans and just get data wherever they can get free wifi or at home.

My opinion, the cloud type services are to new for me to trust, and I would not trust my content on service owned by others. Not saying this is happening on the site your quote, but a person could ask me to store my porn, then steal it and I would never know cause I still have mine. If I put my stuff on another persons server, they could potentially steal my stuff and me not be the wiser. Especially smaller sites similar to what you mention. I am sure Google and M$ are more reliable and encrypted, but I would be extreeeeeeeeemly cautious giving anyone my stash. Further more If I do not own the server its on, I may be breaking the law in duplicating my media. Since 2007 | |

I have about 15 Terrabytes of porn. My home internet connection linked to the network where my porn is stored has a upload speed of 0.5 Mbps. Assuming I was able to transfer using 100% of my bandwidth and did not use my internet connection for anything else it would take about EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS to transfer all my porn into the cloud. Can anyone guess why I dont use cloud storage? The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

15TB? That's some massive stash. Clouds have popped up as a convenience for mobile users with tablets, ereaders, players, etc, where one has multiple devices or collections exceed storage capacity. They are a different animal from sharing sites or mass storage servers. They were never envisioned with this kind of storage requirement. The emphasis is on mobility, not maximizing storage space. It would be infinitely cheaper to buy hard drives than pay $5 a month for each additional block of storage above the free storage allotment-well under 1 TB. | |

Storing your porn in the cloud is a good idea but I would do triple copies or more on other cloud storage services. Hard disks are cheaper now and it is my primary storage, my backups are in several cloud services. Joseph Shehane shehanejoseph@yahoo.com | |
