I am uploading from a browser (chrome) as I saw bad speed on the outdated client.
Damn.. It's definitely not uploading super fast for me (free 100GB account) but not super slow either: https://i.gyazo.com/ff02dc9600cacb220885fd03cf5cde07.mp4
I can download with 7,5 MB/s though.. Which is fine. Video playback also works fine for me.
Just uploaded at 90 Mbps on the computer I had uploaded the first file from.
This is still acceptable.
Uploading at 700Kbps at another computer.
(I have a back luck uploading from this computer, the same network, just another computer)
Very strange.
I'd argue 90mbps is actually pretty good. 700kbps ofc.. Not
I believe so.
Do you think Degoo has a prejudice against another computer? :-)
Most likely not. Maybe a different OS version/driver/setup on the other Computer idk tbh.
Exactly the same computer. I will try with my laptop and tablets too. Thanks.
I uploaded a video just as a test, and the playback performance seemed good enough.
I can't see me paying anything for it though, because the app is poor and just uploading everything via the web browser is annoying.
That's without considering all the slow reports (they're all over Reddit too).
It seems they do make it hard to upload files so that you don't use all your space.
They throttle you later. Waste of money.
The speed problem is only from my other computer (I don't know why)
Upload speed has been good on my primary computer. On three big file uploads, one with around 230Mbps, another with 95 Mbps, the last with 350 Mbps.
What I don't like is it takes a long time to prepare to upload. The bigger size the longer. For 100 gig file, it took more than 30 min. to prepare.
*Degoo android mobile app has some decent rating/download like 4.4+ with 10m+ dl.
About the big files.. probably sucks but luckily most of my Plex files are smaller than 5-10GB
Maybe by "preparing to download," it means encrypting.
What is your average upload speed there at Koofr?
I don't measure it tbh. It just appears to be fast enough. I have 25 Mbits max upload speed from my ISP. My files 1-5GB each (max.) usually upload pretty fast although I dont monitor it but just let it sync like in GDrive folders. Some files are like 10GB but I'm happy, still.
Pretty sure "preparing to download" means the encryption part. Iirc I read that in their Help FAQ under "slow uploads".
If a company wants my data, they can have it. It's config files and databases, most of the information is available freely from github anyway.
The idea of offsite backup is to have it elsewhere, hence, if I backup to a physical drive, I will have to physically move it elsewhere.
any coupons around? %50 maybe
50% off 99$ for lifetime? Not sure you'll find one but if you do, by all means, share it.
I think such companies will allow 10TB as long as you are just allocated like 1,000 inodes and 1MB max filesize upload
@ympker i am interested in 2 tb one. 1 tb with lower price would be better but ...
15% off with FEB15OFF
85$/10TB lifetime.
i don't know why i never trust anything that offers a lifetime plan
Because Lifetime plans are usually not sustainable Yet I have made good experiences with the products I choose so far.
I uploaded my desktop image 125 GiB onto a few folders and the speed varies between at 90 Mbps and 250 Mbps. Big files take long time to prepare to download and I guess it's encrypting. And once done, the speed is good, comparable to that of google drive or Microsoft One drive.
I should have waited a bit longer :-)
Sounds good
I can't recommend this service. Used them for few months. Than on a day when I need to take back my backup - they lost my files up because of bugs and problems on their side (software, or servers, i don't remember). Tried one more time in 2019, still the same problems like it was in 2015
Should've seen that coming, rather pick up a BuyVM slab
There was a big stink a couple of months ago. They had a bot scan everyone's files and when something had a copyright infringing title they sent you an email saying you broke their rules and were being banned in two weeks if you didn't appeal.
This is supposed to be a company that is high on security and not know what you're uploading.
They've been getting roasted consistently on TrustPilot, Reddit and a whole bunch of other places because of this.
They already had a poor reputation, this just made it much, much worse.
Their service is also extremely slow for backing up and for restoring it would take like 2 weeks to restore 200GB. They even killed off downloading the Windows app and stopped supporting it, I guess they couldn't handle people backing up their whole computers on the service.
P.S. They shut me down also for like 4 videos I had on my computer several months prior to sending me the warning. I wasn't sharing any videos, they just happened to be in one of the hundreds of folders I was backing up. I did appeal and they said response not good enough and shut my account down a few weeks later.
I received same letter for having Microsoft public ISOs. Responded they were legitimate files they let me go, however I deleted all my data after that.

It's not I dont trust "lifetime". I just don't trust whoever offer "lifetime" will have longer "lifetime" than me.
nty.
Nothing is unlimited/lifetime. I would suggest getting a Google GSuite Business subscription. Its unlimited space too but I have seen people store 100s of terabytes of data in a single account.
