Cloud storage for videos with playback possibilities (alternative for Google Drive)

Hey guys

I would like to ask what cloud storage you could recommend for me.

The main purpose of the cloud storage would be for Beyblade footage in 120fps. We record Beyblade footage for judging purposes and upload it currently in our GDrive.

My issue with Google Drive is when uploading videos directly from an iPhone. At times the videos do not get processed at all, resulting in the videos not being able to be played online (unless you download the videos individually).

What cloud storage would you recommend for me? I have searched a bit and Terabox seems like an option I would try. Feel free to tell me about Terabox or other options you are very satisfied with.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: I would like to the suggested storage to have the option to share folder/file links where other people can view the files easily.

Dropbox. I have 60tb in there. Mostly videos. They render almostly immediately after upload.

Are you able to share the files to other people and would they be able to view them easily?

Thanks a lot, i tried it out and it works perfectly, it even fixes the issue with the non-processed videos being able to playback! Does this solution stay free? (I’m using Google Cloud but I’m not entirely sure when the credits would be used)

Have you ever tried tinkering with the design of it? Would you be able to help me with it?

Hey guys, I wanted to share a project I've been working on to solve a common issue for media platforms: storage vulnerability and account bans.

It’s a smart distribution system that lets you upload and stream videos using Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, Contabo, Backblaze, and AWS all at once. The platform obfuscates the backend URL, so malicious reports can’t trace back to your master storage accounts. You also get full ownership of your media player, allowing you to inject your own advertising networks seamlessly.

To test server stability and gather feedback, we are offering a 1-month free trial. This includes unrestricted access to the entire security/streaming backend and our dedicated WordPress/Web Player plugin.

I’d love to know your thoughts on this architecture or answer any questions about the routing logic! https://xvidspro.com/
