cloud storage for kodi / streaming

[WCZ]

I have a server I built around 10 years ago, it has 10tb of films and media on there but has started to run a bit slow and it uses lots of power

I use an nvidia shield stick to stream onto my projector and have a 1gb hyperoptic internet connection

is anyone aware of any good cloud servers that would be compatible with kodi and allow 10tb+ of data to be stored on them? it'd be nice to finally be able to turn the server off

Google drive enterprise. Requires a bit of research to get signed up to but I believe it’s 100% legit.

I think pCloud would do it.

I believe you get 10gb free, so would handle your existing content. 10tb is pricey though at over £1k for a one off lifetime payment.

Not sure if iDrive would work with Kodi, but that's £75 a year for 10tb and £150 a year for 20tb.

meant to write 10tb of existing content

I drive would be fantastic but I am not aware of anyone who has made it so it works with kodi

I haven't researched it properly, but it might be worth looking at RClone. I believe it lets you map cloud storage like iDrive as a drive letter on your PC.

Not sure how well it would work with Kodi, but think it works with Emby. I use Kodi as my front end for all my movies and tv shows, but have Emby as the back end, as I find the cataloguing much easier as it automates it all.

I'm not sure I would trust any of the cloud providers not to check your account for content, see it's full of stuff that tends to be pirated and delete it all. Seems more risky than running your own server and much more expensive.

I doubt they'd have either the time or inclination to check the nature of any content.

Besides, why would they cut off a source of revenue when it's not affecting them. Even ISPs don't much (or anything) about terrabytes of torrent downloads.

I know a way to do it. G Suite business for unlimited storage. If you know your way around Linux then a low powered box local to you that can run rclone to mount an encrypted volume on gsuite and share it out via an SMB share that Kodi can read.

I don’t know Linux particularly well so I run an Unraid server locally that is configured to use rclone with my g suite account.

It’s a bit outside my comfort zone but you could research into 100% cloud based solutions like https://sudobox.io/ and https://cloudbox.works/ I’m pretty sure both work well in conjunction with a gsuite account.
