Where do you archive your art if not google? I'm worried this will happen to me. I've already had a previous google account suspended for uploading art but I still use their platform
>>7946553DropBoxMEGAGoFileor just buy a fucking flashdrive with memory worth a damn
>>7946553proton drive or a usb stick
>>7946553an external hard drive
>>7946553Proton drive, catbox.moe, separate laptop.
>>7946553>Where do you archiveJust use another Cloud service frfrong skibidi tidepod toilet ong
>>7946553For actual archiving use a PC or external hard drive.
>archiveI 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
>>7946553Open closetPick up one of my external HDDsConnect it to PCCopy files to HDDDisconnect it, put it back in the closet, where it is safe
>nippon culture of trust when it gets fucked over global corporatismlol, lmao
>>7946602>nice looking label with rosesYou just know those are some bottom of the barrel Moser Baer shit that won't even be recognized by a drive in 4 months
>>7946553I have Google drive, onedrive and celsys drive for my art backups. This is making me think of investing into my own NAS as well
>>7946553I just try to be good enough, that people will voluntarily scrape my art upload it to whatever site.
>>7946553>manuscriptsText 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.
>>7946553RAID or NAS server seems ideal.
>>7946677I’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.
>>7946553nsfw artist, s3 glacier encrypted + local
>>7946553Zommers will destroy the world when they take over. They legit don't know how to do shit or use technology.
>>7946702Or 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
>>7946987Yeah people really have to just mass report shit to get people in trouble, like swatting
>>7946987Probably. 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.
I don't archive my workWho would give a shit?
>>7946987>the guys says he only uploaded manga workTo be fair, he obviously wouldn't say otherwise. Not that I'm saying it must be CP.
>>7946553Never trust the cloud.
>>7946987They reported his google drive?what
The practical application of child porn being illegal is that obvious bullshit can be excused with baseless accusations
>>7946553Buy 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.
>>7946553just encrypt (as simple as encrypted 7z or zip archive without compression) your shit before uploading it to the cloud
>>7946553>CloudIf you have it as a secondary backup its fine, but it can't be your main, ever.
>>7947553Google 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>it's obviously zoomtards mass reporting le incest le porn underage manga artist.How would they even find his google drive?
>>7946613based
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.
>>7948959Why would you use SSD for storage?
Digital is never safe enough, archive your goon materiel on microfiche
>>7946613You don't even draw retardKill yourself
>>7946553I rely on chan archives like desu and moe honestly
>>7947840>for linking randomsIf 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 paymentIt'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
>>7948961HDD are prone to fail after a while anonAnd by while I mean yearsSSD will live longer than a HDD if you plugg it every couple months to rechargeThe actual failpoint of a HDD is the mechanical parts, that's true of everythingMore parts= More points of failure over time
>>7949152Oh 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.
>>7946553but 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
>>7949152hdd 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 termMore parts=More points of failure.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.
>>7949475Ok its not my data.

Github. You can always count on Microsoft.
>>7946553For 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>>7955244Archive implies someone else can use the files. If you don't want that just delete them, what's with this virtue signaling.
>>7955309No 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.
>>7946987>zoomers reported his backup google drive that they knew about somehow >""""cp"""" doesn't come in manga form200 iq over here
>>7946553I have an external SSD drive on which I save my shit regularly
>>7946655I have a NASI can tell you as a fact an external harddrive is more "secure" since it's unplugged and less at risk of being infected or wipeda 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
>>7947840He 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
>>7946558a 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.
>>7956545they 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.
>>7946553I 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.
>>7957310You must to use a Cloud Storage that works with P2P.
>>7960032Ops, I mean Self-host. That damm autocorrect! >:(
>>7946553My 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.
>>7949165The 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.
>>7946553that 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.>>7946702they 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.
>>7960727it's so hard to avoid cloud storage shit. it's enabled by default on windows, mac, and google devices. i had all of that shit turned off on my samsung phone and then samsung did an updoot and all of my phone's personal files got leaked to the cloud backup. your only real option is using linux and grapheneOS.
>>7946553And about a Terabox, guys?
>>7946553You need to use Cryptonator and Boxcryptor.
>>7946557>>7946562Yeah, use ProtonDrive. They don't scan your stuff. I don't think their free storage size is that big (up to 5GB), though, so it might not be feasible for a full archive of everything, but it's perfectly serviceable for sharing commissions. That said, the best option is to buy a few harddrives and back up everything on those, and not use any cloud shit unless you're sharing something with a specific person.
>>7957312Yeah, sure as shit Google has some sort of AI scanner that tries to determine if something is porn or not. I don't know what their TOS is in terms of porn of any variety, but I absolutely would not be surprised if their system just autobans people if their AI says that there's a good chance whatever is being uploaded is even just loli drawings, no real photographs involved. It's a good reason why anybody who wants to upload any art at all should absolutely avoid using Google Drive, because it's only a matter of time before it autoflags something as unacceptable and you get permabanned
>>7946553my mind
Archive? I just delete them when I'm done
>>7946618what if there's a house fire?you should keep backups in a bank vault or your parents' garage or something as well
>>7946553USB stick or additional disk.Never put anything on any service... retards will change rules and delete everything. Not worth it.
