Yeah amazon cloud drive is pretty popular on /r/DataHoarder/, quite a few people have 10TB+ on it, some even a lot more.

Personally I have close to 7TB of backups and personal video footage stored, everything encrypted, never had any issues.

However there's always the danger of them pulling a onedrive at some point in the future and reverting from unlimited back to something like 1TB if people actually use it.

There are people on that subreddit who have a lot more than 10TB and even someone recently who uploaded more than 1PB. Even considering Amazon's above average capability to store large amounts of data, I'm surprised that the individual hasn't had their account suspended.
I'm sure they will be if they ever try to retrieve it...
I guess the question is how does Google Drive compare with a business account. Since they offer unlimited drive space with five users. Hrmm.
What do you use for the encryption?
ARQ is pretty awesome, set and forget encryption with hourly,daily,weekly,monthly snaps. Connects to just about every possible cloud service.
Thanks very much, I always get the most useful answers on HN.
