If they did something more like CrashPlan I would probably be more likely to switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1495178 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:12:13 +0000 birdofafeather 1495178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use an external drive and backblaze that automatically backs up my stuff, but i'll look into google drive too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1494319 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:31:34 +0000 keiki_mama 1494319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have to do a manual backup or does it auto backup from your phone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1494309 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:29:50 +0000 MrsH 1494309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: do you like google drive?

I had always wanted to do a yearly or seasonal pic book too, but the same logic that those can be lost/destroyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493989 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:35:07 +0000 lawbee11 1493989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I mean the chances of those things happening are slim, but I would be devastated to lose all my pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493981 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:31:32 +0000 Dandelion 1493981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had this offer a week ago.

I'm going to send it to my DH...he's been talking about getting more storage. Thanks for posting!</p> <p>@snowjewelz: The danger with that is what if you lose/misplace the drive or USB? Or what if it gets stolen? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493949 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:17:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1493949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Ah.. I never really thought about this. I back up to an external hard drive.. Are they known to crash? Or I was thinking just filling stuff in USB drives. Like one drive per year or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493937 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:13:09 +0000 Mamaof2 1493937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: we use a hard drive backup too but what if that crashes???</p> <p>I feel like I should do google drive or some other online site as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493936 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:12:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1493936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was paying $20/month for half that amount of storage with google drive. was so happy when i got the email that they would be charging me half as much and i would be getting double the storage!!!</p> <p>it took me a looooong time, but all my pictures are backed up there. like 300gb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493935 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:12:50 +0000 spaniellove 1493935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So tempting to switch from Dropbox, it's just that it's Google... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493907 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:00:41 +0000 snowjewelz 1493907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's a big slash! </p> <p>I just back up to a hardrive tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/google-slashes-google-drive-storage-price#post-1493898 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:57:51 +0000 sheskrafty 1493898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been dragging my feet purchasing cloud-based storage to back-up my photos and now I'm glad I waited! Google slashed the price of Google Drive storage to undercut Dropbox and you can now get 1TB of storage for $9.99/month (previously $49/month). </p> <p><a href="http://mobile.theverge.com/2014/3/13/5505068/google-lowers-google-drive-storage-pricing" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.theverge.com/2014/3/13/5505068/google-lowers-google-drive-storage-pricing</a></p> <p>I am relieved that I'll finally have a backup of all my pictures and videos and not have to pay a ton of money!! </p>
