That $80 cloud storage plan that cost me a whole shoot
Back in March I signed up for a fancy cloud backup service for my studio files. Thought it would save time, the auto sync thing sounded great. Paid $80 for the year upfront. Last week I needed an old project file and the app had corrupted the folder structure. Took me 2 days and a data recovery guy in Phoenix to sort it out. Now I just use a cheap external drive and manual uploads. Has anyone else gotten burned by these auto sync services or am I just unlucky?

Man, those auto sync apps love to rearrange your folders and call it a feature. The trick is to keep one drive that only does backup and never touches the file names, so nothing gets moved without you saying so. Two days plus a recovery guy is a rough lesson, but at least the external drive route works.
