USB backup or Cloud storage?

[Jay™]

For many years I've used USBs for everything and still to this day have piles of them around however I use the cloud for everything now as I have access to them on all devices whenever I need, I think using a USB for backups will be a thing of the past very soon.

What do you use?

 

[Shortie]

I used to always use USB devices to backup whenever I needed to but with cloud storage now being a thing I tend to use that more now than USB storage. I do still from time to time backup on USB just to be on the safe side though especially if it is something I really do not want to run the risk of losing.

I prefer offline backups. 3rd party storages are not for me.

Seriously, I always have a bad feeling they have a backend to spy on my data. It's why I always make use of USB drives to save my data.

I think they do. They will warn you if you store media files. All file storing services do something thing called file audit, which is more or less reading our files, minor or major.

Exactly! It's why I would never trust any of such programs. It's Google that I don't know what to do with because there's no way I would be able to avoid having they spy on me as I can't stop using the it programs/products.
