Which cloud storage service do digit members uses (if any)?

[thetechfreak]

@Vyom One Drive seems to perform much slower than Gdrive in terms of performance(especially downloading).

I have yet to test speeds yet. But it could be your ISP or some temporary delays from the server?

Yes, got the key and activated. I plan to use it to make it a second backup of all my media files. Also to sync my phone and my dad's phone to automatically sync data to cloud.

True could be a temporary thing. I was using Brower instead of the client for uploading too, for which it might have been slower.

That is old box pic,latest ones have 6 users mentioned. First of all,make a microsoft live account with @outlook handle. This will be your primary account to which you will add the office 365 6 users subscription.From there you can invite 5 other outlook email IDs/persons. For simplicity,just open a chat with microsoft customer care & give them remote control of your pc for a few minutes(it's totally safe,you can see what they are doing on screen & the session is conducted via enterprise version of logmein which you download from a microsoft site link provided in chat window with an otp code). Just close all windows/browsers with sensitive info & only leave the Internet Explorer window with your outlook account logged in open.

Each user gets 1 tb of onedrive account associated with their outlook email id.All users data is separate from each other but the primary account can enable/disable the access of other 5 users(but he still cannot access other 5 peoples' data).

Ae sab to thik hai (all this is good) but, can the primary user use whole 6TB for himself/herself? (6TB tagged to one single id)

Even @Vyom isn't replying on this!

Not directly but in an indirect way as mentioned by @Vyom in post on previous page by creating a shared folder from each of the 5 accounts & then adding them to the 6th/primary account.In this way you will have 5 extra folders within primary account with each folder capable of utilizing 1TB of onedrive space.

But Can we add files from 6th account to shared folders?

You mean sharing files? Sharing files is simple assuming it is like google drive,just add the outlook id of other 5 accounts & send them the link & they will be able to access the link/file after logging in through their outlook id.

If you are talking about sharing folders then it is the same process.Any folder you share & give edit permission can utilize all the space available in that onedrive account & whichever account you give permission to edit that folder can thus utilize the space associated with the onedrive account that shared the folder.

P.S. Now I get it.You can add any files within those shared folders from your/6th account as long as those 5 folders don't cross the 1TB size limit.Once you have filled all 5 shared folders(5tb total with 1tb in each folder) then you can only add files/data in your own/6th account 1tb space.of course any data you add outside of those 5 shared folders will also be using your 1tb space.

No what i meant was to be able to upload files to 5 shared folders(which is shared to 6th account) from 6th account Then only we can say that we can control everything from 6th account.

Thats really great we can only use 1 account and not need to login to everytime to other accounts.

Exactly. Great explanation by Whitestar. I thought it was common knowledge. But I myself am not able to test it since for that I need to:
1. Create multiple Microsoft accout
2. Make shared folder
3. Upload files to shared folder

I am stuck in taking out time to do, well, first step.

That has nothing to do with this discussion.Only difference with Linux is that one will have to use a client other than onedrive(in this case,rclone) if one does not want to use the browser for uploading/downloading from onedrive.

Obviously the default choice would be onedrive,in fact it is already integrated within win 10. If you are not satisfied with it then you can try other clients too.
