The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am in a quandary.... I currently have music stored on my work PC (mainly because I mostly listen to it there) and synchronised with my ipod. I'd like to have it on my home laptop too and the most logical answer seems to be that I store it online on one of the cloud-type applications so that I can access it anywhere and from any device. Does anyone else do this and how have they found it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think you only get 5gb of free storage in the cloud, anymore and you have to pay for it. 5gb doesn't hold much of my music, so I only use it to sync essentials between devices. It works fine, but I keep all my music on my laptop and just transfer playlists onto my iphone to save memory. Maybe you could just sync certain playlists to the cloud so you could use them at work?

The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hmmm, I haven't even got round to making up playlists; I go through phases of listening to music, I won't have any for a while, then get into it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm interested in this too. I use Dropbox to back up my important files and the songs I have bought on Amazon are automatically backed up in the cloud. However I saw on the reviews of the Amazon mp3 app that some people who had exported their entire music library to the cloud were having trouble accessing it. But it's been a while since I looked at it so I'm interested to hear if anyone has experience...anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I use the Hotmail Live Skydrive for any documents I may need on the go, but it's only 7gb of free space, so not enough for my music. I use an Android device and am thinking of using their music hub to store my music files, will have to have a look at the cost for extra space though.

gongladosh Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 if you have a recent (or currently buy) a Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung have a deal with dropbox that gives you another 45gb or so of space for a year or two. You do have to claim it from dropbox though (it's easy enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I was given a Samsung tab for christmas, so I will see if that qualifies for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I use an external hard drive to store all my photos, music and documents on. I can just plug it in to any device, including the telly, although sometimes viewing your photos at 40" wide is not recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
