    When you use OSS, you feel its unlimited capacity, and the speed limit upload is very practical.In addition, it did not provide a client before, can now provide client access, greatly facilitating the customer, for personal or corporate file backup.

    Onboarding to AliCloud often require testing to familiarize with their platform product behavior. Some product features are still very basic, and there is room for improvement. Anyway, their support team is very responsive.
