Hey there, I was wondering what the best ways are to store and use your massive amount of content you acquired as a pirate on the high seas.

I’m currently using Google Drive which so far worked perfectly great without any exceptions ever due to the great compatibility and ease of use like streaming all media content in it’s full format and quality directly from the Google Drive with an third party Kodi Add-on on my phone, TV and PC.

But I often read on the internet now that people say it’s not reliable because Google scans the content and could potentially ban your whole Google Account. I was wondering if this is true because I’m using my main Google Account that’s linked to all my important stuff like Photos, Email etc. but I only use a normal private Google Account (no business account) and never ever share my pirated content.

So if this is actually not reliable then I’m wondering what the best ways are to do this instead.

Things that of course are most import is security (so that you can be 100% sure you’re content is always safe, even in 10 years), performance, compatibility and ease of use so I can for example directly and easily stream the content from the source in it’s full format and uncompressed original quality on any device (like with the GDrive) without having to download it or so every time.

I know that NAS + Plex server probably is the best way but I currently don’t have the money and know-how to do it. So it would be nice if you could mention solutions like this but also alternatives that for example work over the cloud.
