How much do you know about the world of online disks?
Using network resources to store and share personal or work information has become a convenient choice for netizens. However, recently, the online disk market has been in the tide of "shutdown". It is reported that many Internet companies have shut down or adjusted the online disk service functions, such as UC online disk, Jinshan Express disk, Sina WeChat disk, Tencent WeCloud, 115 online disk, etc.
The agreed permanent free, how can I close it? Nowadays, the most concerned problem is how to deal with the data stored in the online disk after the online disk is shut down?
There are many complaints besides convenience
When you log in to a brand's online disk, you can see a prompt similar to "recently traveled, share 100 photos to friends in 2 seconds". Dozens of G conference materials can be shared with others without leaving home; Relatives and friends who live in two hemispheres of the earth can also upload photos to form a shared "family album"; When working at home or overtime, you can log in to the online disk to find the files on your office computer
Network disk is short for network cloud disk. As a product of emerging Internet technology, network disk has the functions of storage, access, backup, sharing, etc. Since Internet companies launched online storage services for online disks, it has become the preferred storage method for many netizens due to its massive storage space, cross device access, and support for fast sharing.
The convenience of the online disk also lies in that as long as you can access the Internet, all the data you need are in the "cloud", and you can edit and manage the files in the online disk anytime and anywhere; The characteristics of its online service can help users to save the hassle of carrying electronic documents with them, read data at different times and places, and do not need to use traditional USB flash drives or hard disks to "move", and also avoid the physical damage caused by such "moving".
However, there are many complaints about the domestic online disk service netizens. Taking "Baidu Cloud" as an example, ordinary netizens can have 2TB of free storage space after registering their Baidu Cloud accounts, and registered members can expand to 5TB. Netizens with large demand for storage capacity can buy more memory space, but there are also a few screen swiping slots, For example, "Guiyun is really good at playing, and super members are required for fast download. Super members are still three times the price of members, so why don't you go to heaven".
Why is it trapped in the "closure tide"
Industry insiders said that due to the strong privacy, large storage space and convenient access of the network disk, users will undoubtedly leave countless "garbage" in the network storage space when they often use it. At the same time, for both parties of illegal transactions, it is easy to download and cheap, even without the name when making payment, and it is also easy to breed illegal acts. At present, some criminals regard online disks as a "dark room" to hide dirt and seek profits.
Recently, the national "anti pornography and anti illegal" office reported many cases of selling cloud disk accounts, spreading pornographic materials for profit, and spreading pornographic information online, including some famous enterprises. It is reported that since March this year, many Internet companies have adjusted or closed their personal online disk functions and started to focus on cleaning up bad information in order to cooperate with the relevant national departments to carry out the inventory and rectification of online disk content involving pornography and piracy.
Not long ago, Huawei Netdisk announced that the user data storage sharing service will be stopped from now on, and all user data will be retained until June 30. From July 1, the free permanent space qualification of Huawei Netdisk will be terminated, and the paid service will be refunded according to the remaining time of the package. Previously, UC Online, Jinshan Express and Sina Microdisk all announced that they would shut down services such as personal user storage; Tencent's WeCloud and 115 online disks also shut down some functions, and the online disks fell into a "shutdown tide" for a while.
However, insiders said that the high maintenance costs of online disks and the lack of an ideal profit model were also the main reasons for the shutdown. It is reported that the cost of online disks is much higher than that of free mailboxes. Bandwidth resources, hardware investment, and later maintenance all need a lot of investment. Few netizens who are accustomed to using online disks convert into paying users.
How to backup important data?
In this case, how should netizens deal with the data stored in their online disks?
It is reported that during the rectification process, most online disks have set the deadline for user data migration, and user data may be cleaned up after it is outdated. However, because most users store massive data in online disks, migration is not easy. Therefore, the best way is to stop the service before the deadline notified by the online disk service provider, Back up the data to your mobile hard disk or computer hard disk in a timely manner.
At present, hard disk storage is still the most stable storage method. However, in the Internet era, the traditional hard disk storage method not only cannot meet the storage requirements of massive data, but also is not conducive to information sharing. Online cloud storage still has its irreplaceable advantages. Baidu Cloud, Tencent WeCloud, 360 Cloud Disk and other online disks are still available for users to choose from. In addition, mobile Internet users can choose to use their own cloud storage functions, such as iCloud for iPhone and cloud storage for Android phones. These storage services may not meet our diverse needs, but they all have certain guarantees.
In addition, a more effective and simple option is to purchase services and become a paying user, because this action has little impact on paying users and VIP users.
After the personal online disk is closed, how to take the path of enterprise online disk is also widely concerned.
In this regard, the insiders said that although the basic business of enterprise online disk and personal online disk is storage services, they are very different in terms of functional focus, profit model and regulatory risk, and the enterprise online disk is basically unaffected.
First of all, in terms of functions, personal online disks focus on backup and download, and enterprise online disks focus on collaborative office work. Its basic storage function is more focused on collection, that is, different permissions for adding, deleting, checking, and modifying are set for different users. The enterprise administrator account can easily manage users, lock them locally, refresh them in real time, and share them within the enterprise; At the same time, personal online storage costs are large and it is difficult to realize, while the profit model of enterprise online storage is relatively clear; Third, it is difficult to supervise personal online disks, while enterprise online disks are well reviewed and easy to trace, because not only every user is real, but also the customer enterprise itself will review the uploaded files.
