I’ve left wigh 10 gb in my hd, almost 300 gb in my hd are occupied by culturally relevant films (in hig deifinition) that in the future (I bielieve, and I’m afraid) won’t be so easy to find and thus I am reluctant to delete.

spoiler

Out of curiousity, some of the movies are: Fellini’s 8 and a half; Metropolitan by whit stillman; Lust; by Ang Lee; Ice storm by Ang lee; The Dresser by Peter Yates; Another woman, by woody allen;

I cannot right now buy and external HD (that in the long distance I will surely loose in the profoudities of a cupboard), is there any solutions, safe and cheap to keep them somewhere online and made them available to anyone somewhere that is interested to watch them?
Thanks to anyone who will want to help me. Have a nice day!

    I don’t know why no one mentioned it yet, but those are very well known movies, albeit old, and will probably remain pretty easy to find in the near future.

    If you still want to hold on to them you could download handbrake. This software lets you shrink a file size by a lot depending on the settings you’re working with, and how much you want to compromise the quality.

    Also in terms of cost, local storage will always be cheaper than web, mostly due to the fact that cloud storage is paid periodically, while you can buy a decent sized SSD for 40 euros
