ive spent the last few days ripping all my cds and dvds to flac, mp3 and mp4, and theyre all in respective folders on a portable HD. they come to about 300Gb on a 1Tb drive.
i now want to back this music up in case of disc failure. im thinking of google drive, as i have the htc m8, chromebook and a google account. the plan is i can use the android music player to play any of my music on the phone instead of deezer/spotify, plus its all there safely stored as a back up.
i tried connecting the HD to chromebook and cut and pasting the folders to 'google drive' but this didnt work, saying i didnt have enough space (even though i have 1Tb google space?). i then looked at uploading through 'google play music'. this didnt work either, when i hit upload music and direct to my folders, i press upload and nothing happens.
firstly, does anyone know why nothing seems to work? and secondly, is this actually the best way of backing up my music. yes i can buy another HD and copy it just in case, but id still like the opportunity to play any of my music wherever i am in the world (i dont mind using my phone data for this).
thanks a lot
