I am going to say this again, cloud storage is not a good idea. A good idea is a 512GB USB Flash Drive since you don't want to buy an external hard drive.
Okay, so I should ”zip/ ”archive”/tar (put the files into some wrapper/package) the data files before uploading.
Sorry, when I said I don't want to buy a hard drive, I meant I didn't want to buy any other hardware (like a flash drive).
