For actual archiving use a PC or external hard drive.

I count on people reuploading it to various boorus and saving it to their hard.drives. If they don't and it gets lost or I end up never being famous enough to have one guy notice he has the last copy of one of my works on a USB stick somewhere thenmaybe it wasn't really worth keeping

Text and not just images? I've used drive to store degenerate explicit fanfics and countless shitposts with slurs like nigger and faggot for nearly 10 years and not had any issues yet. I've saved porn art to it too but I'm not a lolicon so maybe that's why I've been fine. Was he linking his drive/google account directly to the public to share his art? Someone could've reported him rather than it being mass surveillance. Either that or he uploaded 3D CP and some hash filter got tripped like the Carozza guy. If someone tech literate wants to disprove my cope and enlighten me to how fucked we all really are, I'm ok with that.

>>7946553
RAID or NAS server seems ideal.

>>7946677
I’m suspicious about his claim too.
Tech companies store hashes of known CP images. So even something like drawn loli or real 3D (if the image is unknown to authorities) wouldn’t trigger a takedown.
And as far as I know, they only hash images, not text.

Or somebody else sent him one of those. Saito Naoki got his account banned because someone sent him some questionable content into his suggestion box. Saito sensei didn't manage to retrieve his first account afaik so he continued with the first account. It's not confirmed whether there's actual CP sent to him btw since he had no way of checking ehat vaused it. Just so you note that Google could pull this random bullshit for no reason when you subscribe to Gdrive next time

it's obviously zoomtards mass reporting le incest le porn underage manga artist.

i love how the first thought you guys have is CP hashes doe, great work everyone, the guys says he only uploaded manga work not whatever the fuck you guys upload

>>7946987
Yeah people really have to just mass report shit to get people in trouble, like swatting

>>7946987
Probably. Sad fact of the matter is, that's nothing new at all. People have resorted to such tactics to try and control what they don't like as they parade around virtue signaling for decades now. It happens everywhere there's a report feature.

To be fair, he obviously wouldn't say otherwise. Not that I'm saying it must be CP.

The practical application of child porn being illegal is that obvious bullshit can be excused with baseless accusations

>>7946553
Buy a personal HDD (yes disk, not SSD) and store your stuff on that.
It's pointless to use an online storage service because it's basically the same exact thing except it's not YOUR drives that your stuff is on, it's on someone else's drives and they have access to your data which is bad news.

>>7946553
just encrypt (as simple as encrypted 7z or zip archive without compression) your shit before uploading it to the cloud

If you have it as a secondary backup its fine, but it can't be your main, ever.

>>7947553
Google is a faggot kike company that bans for wrongthink but if his 2D art wasn't manually reported by anyone then how did he get flagged? That usually only happens to illegal shit tagged on a database. What happened to him is bullshit if it was fictional 2D art but it doesn't make sense why he'd be flagged if that was the case. If he was flagged because people reported his account then he's an opsec illiterate retard for linking randoms to his porn google account like it's a booru.

>>7946987

Why would you not archive your work on a external drive or thumb drive? Why only store it on the unreliable cloud?

>>7947065
>Who would give a shit?
You? Do you not like looking back at your own work occasionally?

I store my digital work on 2 separate SSDs. My traditional drawings go to their intended recipients.

>>7948959
Why would you use SSD for storage?

>for linking randoms
If you are a big name and draw big attention, even if you paywall your stuff at like $50 bucks, out of 1000 people that buys access it's bound to happen that ONE retard will not like the content, or be afraid his IP is logged watching loli porn and report, clear cache and refund his payment
It's a statistical posibility, not something you can really cover yourself from.
The actual covering yourself for it is the appeal, but nowadays appeals are done by bot AI shit

>>7948961
HDD are prone to fail after a while anon
And by while I mean years
SSD will live longer than a HDD if you plugg it every couple months to recharge
The actual failpoint of a HDD is the mechanical parts, that's true of everything
More parts= More points of failure over time

>>7949152
Oh okay. I should clarify I was genuinely curious. I personally use HDD just because I was broke when I bought them. Might consider going SSD for storage in the future.

>>7946553
but literal ch ldp rn videos going from 10 seconds to 3 hour compilations are still hosted in different google drive accounts with name listed as "raj9993_barad_" "amhedrajuuul" linked from Discord and Telegram Indian chat groups are still online btw. None are archived. Soo Google Indians can see the files.

They upload the stuff to open net because open net is always faster

>>7949152
hdd are superior dude long term, this until we have domestic silica solutions. just leave it somewhere safe at ground level.

>>7949165
>hdd are superior dude long term

I don't know how you don't understand this part.
Your caveat "Leave it at safe ground level" is offset by my caveat "plug the SSD every couple months to recharge"
Both caveats accounted for, SSD will live longer.

For now mega. If they truly are as "zero knowledge" as they claim then as long as I don't make any public links to share my files they should have no way to know what it is I'm archiving there

Why not just zip a batch of images with a password? There is nothing to be discovered.

>>7954686
>>7955244
Archive implies someone else can use the files. If you don't want that just delete them, what's with this virtue signaling.

>>7955309
No that's what a gallery is for. Archiving my clip studio files somewhere online is so I can save storage space but still save them if I need them in the future.

I just keep my art on my external hard drive alongside with my reaction images, porn, memes, and pirated media

Set up your own cloud server with a NAS and resilio sync or something similar. It's cheaper in the long run.

I have an external SSD drive on which I save my shit regularly

>>7946655
I have a NAS
I can tell you as a fact an external harddrive is more "secure" since it's unplugged and less at risk of being infected or wiped
a NAS is more responsive, so it can be continuously backing up your folders and if anything happens to the drive locally you'll have a very up-to-date backup but it's less safe to a virus or ransomware attack

>>7947840
He said he uploaded the manuscript of an old published manga, so it could've ended up in a database

The problem here being that Google is treating fictional works the same as real scam by keeping hashed databases of them

>>7946558

a 1 TB sandisk SSD is about $100 last time i checked, although i bought mine during COVID and it was like $400 lmao.

MEGA is good for file-sharing big APNGs but i'd never use cloud storage for anything i wasn't prepared to lose permanently.

>>7956545

they have AI for detecting porn now, hashes are more accurate but less flexible because rotating an image 10 degrees or adding static can usually beat a hash.

wouldn't be surprised if google drive has a blanket NSFW ban too. if that's the case, then the AI can be even simpler.

>>7946553
I recommed a Nextcloud, that is a self-hit program that you create you own cloud server.

Storing data on an external hard drive is a must, but the problem is that even if you’re as careful as can be, it’ll break anyway because of planned obsolescence—they need to sell products to keep hard drive manufacturers in business.

>>7957310
You must to use a Cloud Storage that works with P2P.

My drawings are not worth being saved, I post them on my socials and if the service dies then so be it.
If my drawings are worth anything at all someone else will preserve them.

>>7949165
The problem is that an HDD is a very fragile device because of the read head; if you drop it on the floor, it will puncture the HDD, causing it to break and resulting in the loss of all your data.

>>7946553
that was dumb of him, google scans everything in your drive. if the AI flags something they just ban your entire google account. and good luck getting that appeal
>AI that banned me, you made a mistake
>AI rescans drive and makes same decision again, appeal denied. gmail lost.
>>7946702
they do ai image recognition too, probably to deal with all the ai generated images people make now. some parents had this happen to them when they sent photos of their kid to their doctor for a diagnoses and their account got suspended and they were reported to the police for csam. despite having evidence to exonorate themselves, google didn't accept their appeal.
