Luckily, all of this traffic can be blocked after rooting and installing a firewall (see my post above), since all of this is implemented under Android user ID 1000, which makes it easy to block in AFWall+. Blocking the service's domains on the DNS level doesn't work though, as the SDK will start to contact fixed IP addresses if DNS resolution fails. However, because the device tries to contact the servers immediately after startup, I assume it does some kind of analytics tracking as well. The servers seem to belong to Tencent's QQ service, so they supposedly use it for their on-device support feature. The traffic is encrypted, so I couldn't figure out what it does.

As per firmware version 3.0 (v3.1 is current), this traffic was only partly encrypted.Д«esides this, the software seems to include some kind of Tencent SDK, which tries to contact Chinese servers quite aggressively, regardless of which setting you choose in the UI. The device uses this to check for firmware upgrades, to sync notes, for their own book store and IIRC to send some basic usage statistics. Both of them are available under the domain, so I assume they are both controlled by the Chinese manufacturer. In the UI, you can choose if the device should communicate to Chinese or US servers. something went wrong each time with photos jumping from one group to the next or some such.It's been a while since I looked at it, but here's what I remember: This is Modern Risk-Based Vulnerability Management. Rely on extensive threat intel and patented prioritization to cut costs, save time, and keep your teams efficiently focused on reducing the biggest risks to your business. tried the free 1TB flickr thing but getting photos on there was a fecking nightmare. A tidal wave of vulnerabilities, but you canвЂ™t fix them all. Used google photos was decent but a problem a while back made me stop paying the extra for storage and me telling them to f off. as for documents, i only have about 300GB. i was with bitcasa and it was quite cheap but after a year (ish) the cost jumped massively and instead of being unlimited, it was usage based so someone with a lot on there couldn't afford to keep their data there.ДЄs far as usage, i have about 800GB of holiday photos, over 1TB now of videos. especially with android app onesync (and dropsync for dropbox).ДЄs far as storage limits are concerned, there's a history of this.

I managed to remove onedrive fully off win10 but couldn't install the old win8 version How the hell do you do that now when you've got thousands of folders and subfolders without uploading the lot? i'd skip existing files and only upload new ones.

everything would be organised and every now and then i'd copy a folder from my PC and paste it into the onedrive folder. I have 5 1TB onedrives accs and used my phones LTE to upload 2 TB so far (also local copy kept, backups onto another drive as well as backed up in backblaze also - damned backblaze wont let me upload on my phone though!). Eventually, I will likely dump them all and remain local.

At the risk of sounding like a Luddite, cloud storage is solution looking for a problem. It all reeks of the 'Golly gee whiz, it's the future now, get on board.' mentality that has overtaken. This infatuation with the cloud seems to be a product of companies making a buck off of it, not consumers clambering for it. Me? I use my new 2TB external drive to store and/or back up everything I really care about.

I agree with the previous comment that MS is offering cloud space in an attempt to get users over to Office 365 and other fee/cloud-based solutions. That said, I probably use Gdrive more than any other but it's integration with other Google services leaves much to be desired. I have innocuous files on each, just to keep the accounts open, wondering if one day I'll have an epiphany about how great the cloud is and why didn't I get it before, but that bolt from the blue has yet to strike. In me view, they are all clunky and unintuitive. All came to me free over time, and I thought I'd give each a try to see if any one was better than another. I have no less than four (One Drive, Box, Dropbox and Gdrive) cloud storage options on my system, now totaling some 300GB of available space.
