Cloud sync, part 3
Jul. 23rd, 2019 09:16 am(edit: previous post)
Apparently I overlooked my podcast backlog when calculating how much space I needed. I am so far behind on podcasts that even after taking into consideration the fact that I delete non-Red-Panda podcasts once I have finished listening to them, *and* the fact that I convert them all to 96kbps if they were originally higher, the podcast folder is the size of everything else combined: my total is currently ~40 GB, not ~20. I'm glad I left the initial upload running overnight: it's still not done.
(And the podcasts continue to pile up faster than I listen to them, at a rate of around 100 - 200 MB/fortnight. Perhaps I should take this as a sign that I should play more grindy video games, which I have been putting off lately in favour of Productivitydespite knowing intellectually that this is unhealthy for me.)
I wonder which will happen first: the six-month 50 GB free trial running out (it then reverts to the baseline free tier of 15 GB), or 50 GB becoming insufficient. Whichever happens first, that's the point when I'll start paying them (assuming I haven't found some reason not to use them by then).
Currently my smartphone archive is split between internal and SD storage, because neither alone had enough space. But it looks like if I move Wikipedia to the internal drive this should give me enough space to move everything else to the SD card: that's a relief, as it will let me simply sync a single meta-folder rather than fiddling with multiple folders synced to different places. (Still asking for a larger SD card for Hanukkah, though.)
