Just saw this article from PCMag and this seems way to good to be true.

If its too good to be true it probably is. Could buy a TB or so SSD and be better off doing local backups.

It also has a 1 gb file size limit according to the article. Lol

lmao. I didn't make it very far into the article but that's probably the biggest way to ensure no one ever uses all their space 😂

I tried a cheap "lifetime" subscription offer a few years back. They're garbage. Period. I'm surprised they're still around stealing people's money.

Appreciate the heads up.

I don’t trust them. Too many red flags.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That was my first thought without looking any further than the price 😂

AFAIK, they limit download, so you need to pay them MUCH more to be able to properly download your files whenever you gonna need them

That's the big catch then, Thank you.

oh yea i saw it on stacksocial for cheap. i can't trust any 'lifetime' cloud offering this much storage for so cheap. it does work from what i read but for how long no one knows. good enough for linux isos i guess (or as an encrypted backup for selfhosted storage).

i have koofr 100gb and it works well but look at how much more it costs https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/koofr-cloud-storage-plans-lifetime-subscription-1tb
