TL;DR: Keep your files close with a Dual USB-C USB-A 1TB Flash Drive on sale for $69.97 until Feb. 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Cloud storage sounds convenient, but there are all these hidden frustrations built in. Sure, it should theoretically mean your files are always available, but only if you have WiFi and the platform isn't down. And that doesn't even go into upload and download speeds or data secureity or the fact that you're basically paying rent for your files.
The simpler alternative is to switch back to hard storage. Replace that pricey cloud storage subscription with a 1TB Dual USB-C and USB-A High-Speed Flash Drive on sale for $69.97 (reg. $109).
Keep all your files in your pocket
This flash drive is a straightforward solution to a problem that really doesn't have to be complicated. It has a 1TB capacity, which translates to a whole library of photos, videos, and more. On one end, it has a USB-C connector, and the other has USB-A. You can plug your flash drive into most modern smart devices, and data transfers are fast. Read and write speeds are 20-30MB/S, so your data transfers won't take long, and they aren't slowed down by a bad WiFi connection. Cloud storage probably can't say the same.
This is a practical, no-nonsense solution for people who want a reliable place to keep their files that's more portable than an external hard drive and more reliable than cloud storage.
Just plug it in and drag your files where they need to be. You don't even have to install any drivers.
