Have you tried them on a windows machine direct into a usb port?

They are fuckity fuck fuck fucked

The cloud was a good idea, but upload speeds are appalling round here :(
 


Do you have a BT with Fon signal for your wifi near you.
My upload speed was 1mb on a good day. When my internet went down I logged onto this service. A little expensive but they had over 10mb upload. So whenever I need to upload in a hurry I use their service.
Once you have caught up with your upload the cloud is fine. It's just that first big push that is horrible. But that shouldn't put you off backing up your new work to the cloud and slowly backing the rest up.

I get 10mb at home so tried it here and it was still going to be 6 months for the one drive, it said it could upload 6gb a day. My project sizes are around 50-100gb so don't think cloud is going to work for me as other places are a lot more expensive. I have two backups on site then I am going to get backups off site.

Yeah online is not going to work with the amount of data that you have.
When I started my upload to backblaze I was lucky that I had a week long shoot at a London studio. They had upload speeds of 50mb. So I took my computer and hard drives there and just left it running for a week. Sorted most of my back up out. The rest of the building probably wondered why the Internet was so slow for a week!

This is the problem I'm running into. I've uploaded less than 50 images in a week
 
I see Amazon are now offering free unlimited cloud photo storage to Prime Subscribers now.
Includes common RAW formats.

Prime is £79/year but I suspect some of you already subscribe to that.
