Compared with foreign countries, the public network disk ecology in China is like a pool of stagnant water. Of course, this is due to manufacturers not wanting to make progress, but more importantly, the government’s strict review of network information makes it difficult for public network disk service providers to strike a balance between maintaining their own survival and improving user experience.
After a bloody storm a few years ago, the only public network disks that are famous in China are [Baidu Network Disk] (https://pan.baidu.com/ “Baidu Network Disk Official Website”), [Yutong Network Disk] (https://union.ctfile.com/ “Yutong Network Disk Official Website”) and [Nutt Cloud] (https://www.jianguoyun.com/ “Nutt Cloud Official Website”). The most notorious among them is Baidu, which not only has harsh functional restrictions on non-member users (land capacity + download speed limit), but is also extremely bloated and has many redundant functions that most users cannot use at all. In contrast, Nut Cloud is much better. It only limits monthly traffic for free users. In addition, it neither limits speed nor redundant content. It can be said to be very conscientious. However, compared with the convenience of Baidu Netdisk generating links for direct sharing, Nut Cloud is slightly insufficient in file sharing. Therefore, in the current domestic public network disk ecosystem, it is almost impossible to use a network disk product with simple functions, convenient sharing, and unlimited speed for free. In this case, many users began to turn to the Private Cloud (NAS) solution, that is, to establish a private network storage server, such as purchasing Synology or QNAP NAS host or build a DIY host yourself. However, both the former and the latter have certain technical thresholds and are not suitable for all users.
