I have a Samsung S10+ phone, the third Samsung phone in a row - and each one has had the Samsung Cloud service to back up settings, files, photos etc. That's been useful enabling me to transfer my data onto my new phone each time.
Recently, I got a message from Samsung saying that they are withdrawing from the cloud storage market and that Microsoft is taking over my cloud account, giving it 1TB storage. It also offered to sync my phone to my laptop using my Microsoft account. I took them up on the offer and now have a backup of my phone data and laptop data (30GB has been chugging up the line all afternoon), in addition to my usual external HDD back-up.
I raise this as I'm soon to start building my new desktop and it's made me question how much storage I'll need in it. I have a 1TB M2 Samsung Evo Plus SSD to hold system, programme and working files, including using partitions. With the cloud storage, I really wonder whether I need anything else.
Has anyone else taken this into account with their storage considerations?
