Ask HN: Where do you store your media files?

Dropbox is roughly $1/Gb per year... So you would be looking at $100-$200/year going that route. If you are paying that much for your content storage, understand you are paying a premium for the convenience of cloud storage.

If you don't need web access to your content you are certainly better off financially simply buying a 1TB external hardrive. They can be had for $50 these days.

Is price or the convenience of the cloud more important to you? I personally have opted for the external route.

Convenience would be nice so that I don't need to carry movies on my laptop and could stream them, but perhaps that is a bit move work than necessary.

I was considering buying and partitioning a time capsule to use as both external storage for media and as a time machine backup. The wireless setup is nice since it becomes more transparent.
