MicroSD to Cloud

[belo]

Sort of an odd question I think but I didn't find anything useful in searching. I have 2 separate security systems. An outdoor by amcrest and recently a new Yi camera for inside. Both companies offer subscription based cloud storage. I have no desire to pay for 2 subscriptions so here I am.

The amcrest dvr will accept usb for local storage and the Yi a microsd. Should I be robbed neither local device will be of any use to me.

So... what options do I have to "trick" my Yi camera into thinking it's writing to a microsd when in fact it's writing to a usb drive that is uploading to the cloud?

One way you might get this to work is with an Android phone acting as a USB drive. Then have another app syncing your MicroSD in the phone with a cloud storage. I don't know which phones support all required OTG features and allow this, but this particular app could help you on your way to find something useful: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rotturm.mtpusbswitcher
