You can get a lifetime subscription to 10TB of cloud backup from Degoo today for just $97.97.

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

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

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.

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.

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 don’t trust them. Too many red flags.

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

WTF is “AI-enhanced storage”. Assuming you treat any data uploaded like it could disappear at any time and encrypt your files before upload using e.g. BorgBackup, Kopia, Cryptomator, GoCryptFS etc, it’s fine to use it if the price makes sense.

I inherently don’t trust a service like this though. If you’re not paying a fair price for something, there’s probably an ulterior motive. Maybe they’re trying to get a proprietary client onto your computer?

Lol yeah I guess that’s true. I don’t have anything I would want to put in the cloud that I also wouldn’t care if it just randomly went away.

Generally these sketchy plans can be used for redundant offsite backup. If your offsite backup goes down, you can just get a new provider. I’ve never done it personally, but I know a lot of people use this mentality with e.g. unlimited Google Drive plans, or any other abusive use of hosting services.

Ah now that’s actually not a bad idea. Wouldn’t be bad for something like that then.

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