I have some Azure credits from my MSDN subscription, but I don't need a website on there.
However I do have a need for backing up 300GB of photos and files to the cloud, for which I am considering using Google Drive or Dropbox.
Would be possible to set up Windows Azure just for backing up files, without a website attached?
@demoncodemonkey - How about you just look. The
Microsoft Azure
prices are on theMicrosoft Azure
website. – Ramhound – 2014-04-25T11:38:15.567@Ramhound you're right, I reworded the question to take out the pricing and other opinion-based queries. The main point here is that I don't know whether it can be used as a cloud storage drive in the same way as Dropbox can. – demoncodemonkey – 2014-04-25T11:40:23.980
2You can in theory. You will just pay for data uploaded and data downloaded, and the storage space. Amazon's S3 data buckets are often used by applications to serve data there is little to no different in how dropbox works in that regard. – Ramhound – 2014-04-25T11:52:33.917
