I'd love to hear everyone's experiences with the currently supported providers. I'm trying to find the fastest, but most consistent one, and so far I'm not very happy with the ones I tried. My goal is to hopefully find one that allows me to stream video with 20 Mbps+ bitrate. My connection is very stable at 300 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up.
Amazon Cloud Drive: I was able to upload a large file near max speed, but I was constantly being throttled (forgot the specific errors from CloudDrive) and getting <5 Mbps speeds when trying to stream it back down.
Dropbox: Same experience as Amazon Cloud Drive, but somewhat slower upload.
Box: Best service so far, with max download speeds up to 30 Mbps, but not very stable. Still not good enough.
File share to my DrivePool server: Best experience so far with 1 Gbps speeds to and from the server ;-)
Has anyone tried Amazon S3 or GCS? They seem a bit expensive for archiving large amounts of data, but they might be a bit more reliable.
