#TRESORIT ONEDRIVE V GOOGLE DRIVE FULL#
My router actually does session-based load balancing over two independent Internet connections, and the upload scenarios I tested with both cloud services managed to reach full upload capacity. With both cloud services, I could utilize my full upstream bandwidth for the backup. Google seems to throttle the bandwidth into the Google cloud (I usually do not run into this from home because my cumulated upstream bandwidth will be less than 10 Mbit/s), the number of concurrent connections (further connection attempts will time out), and the number of new connections per time unit (noticable when many small files are uploaded and several of them fail if uploads are attempted with three or more parallel threads).Īmazon seems to throttle the bandwidth in the same way as Google, but in my tests with a large directory of small icon and image files, I did not observe the effect of a limited number of connections per time unit.

In addition, there are third-party backup/synchronization clients available under Windows which support the respective native protocols directly (without having to install Google or Amazon software locally) to replicate files from the local hard disks or a connected NAS to the cloud storage.
Integrationīoth services offer apps to tie them into Windows, iOS or Android for uploads and downloads, and both also offer a web interface to browse, manage or upload files. My application may not challenge all features of these services as it is simply an off-site mirror backup for my documents and pictures. So, based on the price comparison, it was worth testing Amazon and compare against Google.
Google Drive with a capacity of 1 TB is currently available for roughly 100 EUR per year in case the service is charged on an annual (as opposed to a monthly) basis.Īmazon Cloud Drive with an "unlimited" capacity is available for 70 EUR per year and charged annually. One of the topics I reconsidered this year was my choice of cloud storage as a friend pointed me to an "irresistible" offer from Amazon. A new year has begun and it is time to reconsider and plan ahead.
