Got an email from Zoolz about their 1TB lifetime offer.
Its just US$29.99 and the link is http://home.zoolz.com/1tb-lifetime-holiday-offer/

Iam not their affiliate..Just sharing the email details. Looks very nice offer. Unfortunately, I couldn't take as my entropay wallet is not enough :(

  • Is it any competition or cheaper replacement to backblaze personal backup which I am using atm? Tbh, I won't mind paying $5 pm for secure backups of personal data if it ain't.

    From the horses' mouth:

    You: Hi. What do you define as "lifetime" service? I don't see anything in the ToS or Product Agreement. Thank you!

    Daniel B: Its a onetime payment

    You: OK. Is there a specific timeframe defined as "Lifetime"?

    Daniel B: However if you upgrade your upgrades will be charged as a subscription

    Daniel B: no there is not it will be for life

    You: Ah. I see. That's good to know. Thank you for the clarification!

    So, they're at least stating that if you do anything other than use what you initially paid for, it's now a subscription. "Lifetime" is vague and not stated as a given time anywhere on their site. I'd be a bit wary.

    When was the last time "Lifetime" meant more than "Service Lifetime"? Other than people holding office far beyond their use-by date?

    People are still falling for "one time payment lifetime service" scams?

    Clod@Co$T is still online.

  • Any information about their company's lifetime? (age, notable clients, country of registration)

  • **No confidence. **

    See for yourself. It was parked in 2003, a front end for a search in 2009 that just used Google, parked in 2011, a 4GB free host in 2012, and they claimed to be created by Genie9 (which itself started in 2005), and says NOTHING about that now. However, Genie9 still claims it (Cloud Backup).

    Their "Product Partners" is a good old fashioned Web 1.0 trick- if you buy or use their services, you advertise that you "work with" these large Fortune500s.

    The existing product has been rebooted since 2013. I wouldn't expect it to make it to 2020- and that's being very generous.

    That's at least a hamster's lifetime for which the offer is good for. Nobody mentioned humans.

    I consider if it was a short promo. Like if backblaze had did this, it sure wasn't scam but short promo.

    Anyways, I'm happy with them.

  • That's a lifetime service until the end life of your account comes, which can be done anytime by the staff -- that's my understanding of "lifetime".

  • Tbh I trust 1Fichiers "lifetime" to be longer than this one. And it's not like I trust 1Fichier eyes closed.

    If you go here, you can get 75GB "Lifetime Free" storage, _but you must be a business_ - it actually doesn't say that on the signup page or ToS. It's 25GB active, and 50GB cold.

  • I got the same

    Oh, and they're possibly renting "Temporary Office Space" in London. You get free internet, and they provide administrative staff if required. Seems shonky.

    Free Storage?! Lifetime storage?! What sorcery is this? Is this some kind of global conspiracy to get our private and precious data?

    First STACK (Transip), now Zoolz, what's next?

    NOTE: If I were to upload 1TB of pron in 1TB of storage, how much pron would I have in that storage, 50 years from now?

    Just enough, because you'd end up fucked even if they managed to survive long enough to outlive our primitive mediatypes.

  • Gotta love LET.... Best investigators around. There should be a official thread for vetting people/businesses.

    Nothing can beat @jarland's Prout detection skills.

    I would put money on there being an entire wall in his house that looks like this:

  • Is lifetime the company's lifetime or my lifetime? In the latter case, can my children inherit it after I die?

    I doubt you will find (m)any lifetime offers in this market that take the clients lifetime as a value instead.
