Prism Drive Secure Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription

Prismdrive.com is new lifetime storage provider in stack social.

49$ for 2TB lifetime seems very good. I was looking for cheap cloud service lifetime for my copyrighted content.

Scared that they will vanish along with my content. any idea or recommendation they seem very new.

  • Yeah don't do that they will 100% vanish. They offer 10TB lifetime at $89 LOL

    Someones just shoved together some templates and setup stripe.

    Degoo offers 10TB also for 90$ iirc. They are still around but nobody knows how long. That being said, I use them for secondary photo storage (free plan).

    Seems to be using a slightly modified version of this; https://codecanyon.net/item/bedrive-file-sharing-and-cloud-storage/12700384

    Doesn't mean it's bad as you can't see what the backend is like, but it's not like they created the application at least.

    The app is also pre-made; https://codecanyon.net/item/bedrive-mobile-native-flutter-android-and-ios-app-for-file-storage-php-script/31088424

    That's the same script that ThunderDrive uses. It usually works but they never add any features.

    Yeah I've seen a few use it - features are only added once the original script gets updated which seems rare at the moment. It's likely they are using S3/Backblaze/Wasabi for the backend.

    Even with Wasabi at $5 per month per TB they will not be making profit from people maxing their plans, so should be interesting.

    Form business perspective, how many people do really endup maxing their plans?

    If you consider non IT People, or non tech people they would still be happy to buy 2TB storage even though they don't need it ( just in case).

    Not all of there customers would be from LET I guess :wink:

    Typically no. But lifetime offers means no recurring revenue. To make something viable at $9/TB or whatever they were doing, you really do need recurring revenue.

    It isn't a case of buying HDDs and never having any more costs. There's power, bandwidth, human costs, replacement hardware costs - at minimum.

    Try Pikpak, a company located in Singapore.
    Besides basic file storage, it supports torrent downloading, toktok video saving, etc.

    • Their address in the footer is just a virtual mailbox: https://www.anytimemailbox.com/s/santa-ana-600-w-santa-ana-blvd
    • Their site just uses a WordPress template: https://elementor.com/hello-theme/
    • Their terms of service were clearly just copy-pasted from various other sites, and parts of it were from a generic template that doesn't make sense for this sort of service. Formatting is all over the place, some paragraphs use different fonts, and there's MsoNormal CSS classes (i.e. copy-pasted from MS Word_) all over the place.
    • Their terms of service don't allow content with a lot of capital letters:

      7 . PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
      ...
      As a user of the Site, you agree not to:
      ...
      Upload or transmit (or attempt to upload or to transmit) viruses, Trojan horses, or other material, including excessive use of capital letters and spamming (continuous posting of repetitive text),

      (the whole of section 7 shows that these are generic terms of service for a website containing user-generated content, not for a cloud storage system)

    • Section 21 of the terms of service isn't even completed; there's blank placeholders that haven't been filled in:

    In short: Seems legit, send them all your money.

    Smells like a summerhost to me. Who knows if they've even got redundancy in their storage, if they do backups, etc.

  • Scam. Move along and save your dollars.

    Degoo sucks. If anything uploads to them that has the same name as something that is copyright after a year or two they will ban your account. Doesn't matter if you deleted the item months before, they will still claim that you have copyright content. It's a good deal if you get your money's worth within 1-2 years.

    Another thing I forgot to mention is that I wouldn't use any cloud service that's not supported by rclone. Having rclone support tends to mean that it has some some of useful API. You really don't want to get locked in to a cloud storage service where you can only use their site and apps. pcloud and koofr both work with rclone.

    @trycatchthis said:

    Nah they're getting a commission so they don't care. They're in California and break local rules about false advertising (like having fake end dates that just get extended all the time), but don't seem to get in trouble about it.

    Couldn't agree more!

    It's a shame, because they have some legitimately good deals with reputable companies, but are willing to also peddle scams. I've contacted them in the past about it, but as you say, they really don't care.

    Remember, it's their lifetime.

    If they up and yeet in a month you're out and will likely win the chargeback too.
