MS OneCloud experiences?

I figured it would be easy and safe to use OneCloud for storing some family videos and old digitized 8mm films  that I've edited to DVDs. That way, shared, they'd be available for my siblings and children.
 
I was quite disappointed to notice how clumsy and slow OneCloud is when storing big files. It takes about two days to upload one 4 Gb Video_TS -folder. Tiny error somewhere, and you have to start over. Yesterday I got a message that I don't have the right to upload one of the video files included in the Video_TS -folder.
 
I was told that OneCloud is meant to operate so that it doesn't consume all of you ADSL-bandwith. I haven't yet studied the subject enough to know if there's a way to make it upload faster. Now, after two weeks I have uploaded 4 of the 10 folders.
 
I've been wondering if I've made a stupid decision. Should I postpone the purchase of the storage room and find another way.

I don't think OneCloud is made by Microsoft, you're probably getting confused with OneDrive? Anyway that initial upload is always going to be pretty slow, especially if your connection ain't that hot. I use CrashPlan. If you have gigs of stuff to upload they ship you a drive which you send them back full of your stuff and they back it up for you. 

In what way does CrashPlan affect your audio work Bapu? I can't say I've ever noticed anything that I would blame it for, but then again, I haven't really considered the possibility.

I use Onedrive exclusively for my cloud storage. Thanks to an Office 365 subscription I have 1TB of storage available. I find it works seamlessly but like any uploads it will be much slower than download speeds. This is only relevant in that initial phase where you start to use the service and have lots of data to move. After that the incremental data updates aren't really noticeable.

(Correction: Yes, it's OneDrive I'm talking about, not OneCloud)
 
Encouraging to hear a positive comment. Maybe I can deal with it. A month from now I've propably uploaded the files and then I don't have to care about it. I'm not going to upload my music or anything else there. The only purpose is to guarantee that the "family treasures" are safe and accessible in case I suddenly throw my crank in the corner.
 

I use OneDrive on my business laptop to back up a few small files like spreadsheets, Quickbooks file etc. So I really don't know how fast it is when backing up lots of large files. One thing I don't like about it however is that there doesn't appear to be any kind of feedback as to how quickly the backups are taking place or when it's done. I mean there's your OneDrive folder containing the things you've backed up, but would it kill them to put a little progress dialog in the taskbar or something? Google Drive (which I use to keep all of my software manuals backup up and synced to my phone) is the same deal, no feedback. So when I back up my Quickbooks file, I don't know when it's actually uploaded so that I can turn off my laptop. I end up just leaving my laptop on for a bit in the hope that I've given it plenty of time. Maybe I'm missing something, lol.....
 
Another thing I don't like is when you have to keep all of the files you want to back up in a specific folder on your hard drive. MS used to have another backup system (was it Live Mesh?) which allowed to you select existing folders to sync. This is how Crash Plan works also, and is why I use it.
