Sorry if this reads like an ad; the link is a non-referral one. (I am broke though if anyone wants me to DM my referral link (10%) lol) I heard about it here and wanted to share for others that were interested by that original post but waiting for a sale.
Hello everyone I just figured I would share a PSA since filen.io’s black friday sale seems to be live now. Filen is another good alternative to google drive, dropbox, icloud, MEGA, etc.
I’ve been checking this company out for the past week after I saw someone asking here if it was trustworthy. It seems legit; fairly young company which explains why they still offer lifetime plans as they are growing.
Its only like 35 Euro for a 200GB lifetime client-side encrypted cloud storage with no bandwith limits. I despise subscriptions so hard to argue with that for me.
I plan on using this for my offsite backups mainly.
You can’t read can you? I literally explained my reasoning for posting it as it ties into a previous discussion I saw here. You are welcome to check my posting history if you want to see I’m just a regular dude interested in tech and privacy.
the pricing makes perfect sense when you stop defending companies massively overcharging for cloud storage given physical storage costs. Keep in mind it will likely increase since generally companies increase pricing as they age/eliminate the lifetime option once the user base has grown enough.
so pcloud shouldn’t be taken seriously? Not sure why you are simping for subscriptions so bad; they are a bane on modern society. Subscription-model is not the only viable business model (companies including online ones were profitable for decades before it became commonplace) and I would argue it is worse for the user in almost every circumstance.
We should be supporting businesses that reject the subscription-model, not avoiding them.
Yes.
