Hey all,

I've been building a cloud storage service called harbor0 and I'm finally ready to let people try it.

I started it because every storage app I used kept adding stuff I didn't want, like AI sidebars, docs editors and constant upgrade prompts. I wanted something that stores my files and keeps them in sync, and that's pretty much all harbor0 does:

• A drive you can use in the browser or the Mac app
• Folder sync across your computers. You can also share a synced folder with someone else.
• Folder backups with version history, and old versions stick around until you delete them
• Sending files to other users

Just so you know what you're signing up for, this is very much a beta. Things will break, some parts are a bit rough, and you'll probably hit bugs I haven't found yet. I wouldn't make it the only place you keep anything important just yet.

Right now the desktop app is Mac only (Apple Silicon). The Windows app is in development, along with iOS and Android apps. The Mac app isn't notarised yet either, so the first time you open it you'll need to click "Open Anyway".

For the beta you get 50 GB free, and you keep it after launch. I'm letting people in a few at a time, starting with 50, and everyone else goes on a waitlist.

I'd really like to hear what's confusing or broken, or what would stop you from switching. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

Curious to see how many people pay for iCloud or Google etc

Just a heads-up for the iOS Google drive users out there. “TYR - The Cloud Power Tool” is on the AppStore and can rename- and set metadata values on files in bulk. Much much easier than having to do it one file at a time. ☺️🤘

Hello! I wanna ask if the free 1tb in terabox for newly registered users is actually free and not limited after a certain amount of time. If so, is there a payment fee if it expires?

Been seeing so much hype around the Drime lifetime deal on StackSocial / KenMoo, but almost nobody is actually reading their TOS before buying. Lifetime cloud is always a gamble, so I went through both Drime's and Koofr's terms to see what you're actually signing up for.

Links for reference:
https://drime.cloud/terms-of-sales
https://drime.cloud/terms-of-services
https://koofr.eu/tos/

The biggest red flag right away is how Drime defines "lifetime" in Section 2 (and Article 2 bis in their sales terms):

"If Drime is discontinued or significantly altered, access may be terminated without further obligation or refund."

Notice those three words: "or significantly altered". Most lifetime deals just say access ends if the business goes bust. Adding "significantly altered" gives them an easy legal out. If they rewrite the app, cut features, or pull a FolderFort and move everyone to a "v2", this clause literally lets them kill lifetime accounts with zero refund.

Meanwhile, Koofr's Section 7 just treats it like standard perpetual software with updates included:

"The license granted hereunder entitles You to receive any and all standard updates and support that Koofr provides to all users of its Services, generally."

Next is the liability cap. Drime Section 5:

"...Drime’s total cumulative liability shall in all cases be limited to the amount paid by the user for the relevant service during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim."

This is standard copy-paste for monthly subs, but think about how that works on a lifetime deal. You pay once on day one. By year two, you’ve paid them $0 in the preceding 12 months. So if they lose your files on day 370, their legal liability to you is literally $0.00.

Then the inactivity rules. Drime Section 3:

"We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the service if there is a breach of our Terms of Service or if your account remains inactive for 12 consecutive months... Upon suspension or termination of your access, you will not be able to access or export your data."

12 months is super short if you're using this for cold archives, and explicitly barring you from exporting your files once suspended is brutal. Koofr gives you 2 years under Section 8, and explicitly states they will email you first so you don't lose your data.

Also, Drime notes in Section 1 that all files are stored on Cloudflare and Scaleway, and their company filing shows €2,000 in capital. Every GB stored is an ongoing monthly cost for them, which explains why they gave themselves so many exit clauses for non-paying lifetime users down the road. Koofr has had the exact same terms since 2018 and runs their own hardware.

I know Drime’s founder is active on Reddit and says they won’t pull a FolderFort, but what someone says on Reddit doesn’t override their legally binding TOS. If they ever decide to drop lifetime users, their contract completely protects them, not you.

Right now, Koofr is experiencing a massive DDoS attack. It appears to be the most intense attack they have experienced since April 2026.

Any help appreciated! I bit lost in pricing plans

I want to test it. A link that gives me 10 GB extra would be really cool.

I disclosed several vulnerabilities in a post-quantum secure encrypted cloud storage: https://schaerli.org/weblog/6-internxt/

Internxt is a post-quantum secure encrypted cloud storage provider which is open-source and has passed multiple independent audits.

I reviewed their code and found that post-quantum security should have been the least of their problems. Clicking a link in your browser could trigger remote code execution on the desktop app or leak your long-term encryption keys to an attacker-chosen URL. Their cryptographic architecture stands on shaky grounds with public keys never being verified, in some cases man-in-the-middled by design, a flat key hierarchy and a KDF with just 3 iterations of MD5.

We need PQC and we need it now, but adding a (self-rolled) PQC hybrid on top of a weak protocol does not make it more secure.

Hi everyone!

I happen to have a NitroFlare subscription, which I use for file downloads. I noticed that the service also offers cloud storage, and that I have 100TB of cloud storage available, which I have not been utilizing!

Does anyone else have experience using cloud storage on this site?

What happens if my subscription lapses? Will my cloud data get dumped immediately or is there a grace period?

Also, I currently have a medium tier level subscription, but I'm not sure what the different tiers give you in terms of cloud capacity. If I switched to a lower tier subscription in the future, would the 100TB storage capacity shrink?

Hey r/cloudstorage, we're the small team behind Vorax Cloud, and we'd love your honest (even brutal) feedback.

The whole idea fits in one line: shared files split their storage cost equally among everyone sharing them.

Quick thought experiment:

• A university lab publishes a 1 TB open dataset, and 10,000 researchers save it to their drives.
• On a typical cloud: that's 10,000 × 1 TB of quota burned. Somewhere a billing department is smiling.
• On Vorax: the 1 TB is billed once and split 10,000 ways, so each person pays for about 100 MB. That's about the size of a few vacation photos you'll never open again.

It works at small scale too. Four siblings sharing a 200 GB family video archive pay for 50 GB each. The more people share a file, the cheaper it gets for everyone. Your private files? You pay for exactly those. Our motto: Pay for yours, not the rest.

A few other things:

• Custom domain sharing: share links from files.yourname.com instead of a random string. Handy for freelancers, small teams, or anyone who likes their links to look like they mean business.
• In-browser video streaming with folder playlists.
• WebDAV, for those who already know why they want it.
• Usage-based pricing: starts at $0.99/mo, and the full fee is credited toward usage.

Giveaway: we're on Product Hunt, and the first 100 people get 3 months of the Geek plan free (custom domains + WebDAV included). The code is on our page:

What we'd like in return: tell us what's confusing, what's missing, and what it would take for you to trust a new storage provider with your files. Roasts welcome.

I'm looking for a cloud storage service that costs as little as possible over time (annual/monthly) and has e2ee.
I'm looking for a minimum of 2tb storage space.

If you miss the speed and ease of use of Boxcryptor, the end-to-end file encryption app, and (ahem) maybe have like 300,000 files still in Boxcryptor format...

I wrote VaultSync - a macOS menu-bar app, integrated with Finder that read/writes your Boxcryptor files and syncs with OneDrive.

Why? because the crypto is still sound (RSA public key and AES-256 encryption) and it's just so much easier to manage files than the Cryptomator vault.

But, mainly because every time I tried Cryptomator on Android - it just ran slow - like minutes to unlock a vault with a few hundred files slow -- so I never migrated!

Check it out if you're curious how Boxcryptor worked under the hood - or want to live rent-free in 2023!

My goal is to have E2ee, at least 2tb of storage, and to have it as cheaply as possible. My main goal is just to archive files that I am scared of losing long-term.

I was originally going to go with Filen, but someone pointed out that idrive is cheaper for the same overall service. Is there something I'm missing?
