Easily over a week of 24/7 transferring if I included all of our small business' client work. At only a 2 Mb upload speed for where we are, it would literally take days to backup all of our data. One, it takes forever to backup GB of data over an Internet connection. ![]() While Apple has yet to be breached (their own servers, not someone's weakly protected individual account), it simply isn't going to happen. That would be my personal data sitting out there. Personally, I don't, and won't use any cloud service of any kind. Their interest is in selling you products, not selling your data to outside sources. But at least Apple isn't a marketing company. If you need more, the minimum fee is 99 cents per month for 50 GB of space. They have to pay for all that server space and its associated expenses somehow, and their users are that source.Īpple's iCloud storage gives you 5 GB of free space. Nice that you get 15 GB of storage for free, but the trade off again is being signed in so Google can track your web usage. Up to you if you want to take the time to sign in only when you're actively using it, and signing out when not. It still gets search data simply by using it, but at least the search isn't directly tied to me. I still prefer Google for web searches, but I do it all without Google knowing who is searching by not signing in (no matter how many times it prods me to do so). This will somewhat limit how much Google can track you. You don't need to be signed in to send or use email. The main thing with Gmail, even if it is your main email account, is to never be actually logged into your account while any web browser is open. I don't care how much junk it puts there, or how many spammers the site then sells the address to because I never look at it. When an unknown web site insists on an email address before it will allow access, I give it that account. I have a Gmail account that I use mostly as a dump site for spam. ![]() And the device will send your data to Google no matter what other browser you may install anyway. Where Chrome, of course, is the default browser. No choice with an Android phone, or a Galaxy, Pixel, or any of the many other brands of smartphones you can buy that all run the Android OS.
