I've been using the 2 TB pCloud Lifetime Cloud Storage plan for three years now. Overall, I'd say I'm happy with it. The company pCloud has been around for 10 years and charges a decent amount more than many of the other "lifetime" cloud storage plans. pCloud 2 TB Lifetime Plan: partner.pcloud.com/r/106406 My experience with pCloud has been that they are a reputable company that offers support for their product. They are becoming more known and respected in the industry as time moves on. Unfortunately, some of the cheaper lifetime plans are nothing other than Ponzi schemes. Don't fall for it and make sure to do your research. Backblaze might be the most logical alternative for creators. They offer unlimited storage and license on a per computer basis. They do not allow you to back up a NAS, but you can backup external drives connected via USB. That makes this an affordable alternative if you prefer paying monthly or yearly.

I used it on my company's file storage and management for more than 5 years, absolutely fantastic. The only problem is, the mobile android app is very clunky and slow.
I haven’t had any problems with it. I’m almost at my 2 TB limit and have to decide if it’s time to pay a monthly fee or pay for 2 TB more from pCloud. The mobile app is a bit clunky, but I’ll give them a pass on that. I use OneDrive at work and the mobile version isn’t great either. That’s just a lot to fit into a mobile interface.
I got 4tb of pcloud going on 2 years and it’s a superb service. You can offline download files to use such as music photos videos etc. also has a player which allows you to listen to the music offline and you can also make playlists too.
Hi Matt, so for pCloud, can you download something straight from the internet to the cloud? As in, skipping the process of downloading from the web to local pc, and then upload said content from local pc to the cloud. Thanks for the review btw! :)
Are you using Rclone to backup to pCloud? One difference with pCloud to the others you mentioned is zero-knowledge. Are you using pcloud’s encryption package?
I’m not using either, but I do use a third party backup software. It works just as good with pCloud as it does my NAS. I’ve been pretty happy with the service overall.
Generally it is the lifetime of the company or whoever purchased the license (whichever comes first). Lifetime cloud storage doesn’t make financial sense as is. If anyone offered a generational legacy plan, I would be super cautious.

Thanks man, I really appreciate your review and for sharing your experience over the years.
Glad you found that helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review it helped me see clearer in my Cloud services research :)
You’re welcome and thank you for watching! Unfortunately, lifetime often means the short life of the company.
Thanks bro! I was looking for a Google Drive alternative, I'll give it a try.
You’re welcome, glad you found that helpful! They offer 10GB for free which is a good way to check it out before spending any money.

They have an app for Mac and PC that allows you to use it like a drive. You can select that when downloading something.
What exactly do I gain from storing files in the European Union while residing in America?
Besides bragging rights lol
What about if they shut down and run next year? :D
I would buy 2TB for lifetime but they do not support rclone :/

@@mattfowlerkc can you please share name of this software? Cyptomator or goCryptsfs?
Interesting. Wonder if any of these cloud services go beyond lifetime. Meaning, remaining at least 30 years after one passes away.

That's a great video
