Got burned paying $200 for a 'lifetime' cloud backup service
I bought into one of those lifetime cloud backup deals about two years ago. Paid $200 upfront for what they said was unlimited storage forever. Worked fine for maybe 6 months, then they started throttling my speeds to basically nothing. Then they changed the terms so only 1TB was allowed, then they just shut down entirely last month with a 2 week notice to download your files. I lost about 300GB of photos and game saves because I didn't get to it in time. Now I'm sitting here paying $10 a month for Backblaze like I should've done from the start. Has anyone else had a lifetime service pull the rug like that or did I just pick the worst one?
