Amazon Prime membership includes 15GB cloud storage and unlimited photo storage. Since I already wanted to create a backup of my storage raid, I thought it would be nice to upload all my files encoded as pictures.
I came up with a simple tool that converts files and folder structures into pictures, and allows you to upload them later using rclone or the official amazon windows client in a VM.
It will allow you to circumvent the 15GB storage limit like this (see the 0GB at Files):
The idea is that individual files are converted to .BMP files as they can easily be memory mapped into actual files without going through the hasse of image compression / decompression:
A single part picture can look like this:
Let’s see at what volume they will suspend my account 🙂
