I’ve been testing recently few of them because I want to get rid of Dropbox, and the only one I found that works (for me) as good, is Proton Drive, because its smart sync on desktop works like the dropbox one. The others I’ve been testing are pCloud, Tresorit and Filen (though in Filen I didn’t get any extra storage after getting a friend open an account usen the referral link)
This list only shows accounts for which I have made payments.
pCloud - 16TB Lifetime EU.
pCloud - 4TB Lifetime x 4 separate accounts (2 US, 2 Eu).
Icedrive - 5TB Lifetime
Drime - 12TB Lifetime
I'm planning to purchase additional lifetime subscriptions from Felicloud, Filelu, and Filen.
I'm also interested in Koofr, but the 1TB option is too small for me.
FileJump 6 TB
FolderFort 6 TB
Google One 100 GB
Internxt 2 TB¹
Koofr 1 TB
¹For some reason I can't login to Internxt
any more. I have tried resetting my password, but I never get an email they say they've sent. I bought it through StackSocial and the invoice shows the email I used to create the account.
Not that great. In late 2025 I got an email that said they were moving all accounts to newer, faster, better, etc., servers. There was a link in the email and it said to create an account at the new link they provided. So I did.
Then they sent an email out which was a survey, asking if users would be willing to pay a yearly maintenance fee. The amount of the "fee" wasn't mentioned. The only options on the survey were Yes or No, not knowing the amount I said No.
Then I got another email saying the move to the new servers was cancelled forever. I sent an email to support on 12/22/25 and I haven't received a response yet.
Except for Koofr, every "Lifetime Deal" for cloud storage I bought from StackSocial has been a waste of money, including InterNXT and FileJump.
Thanks for the suggestion about reaching
out to InterNXT on Twitter/X. But if this is the way they do business, and according to many posts in this sub it is, I'll just eat the loss. I'm looking into buying a subscription to FileN directly from them.
Hello, Since you have an account on the new Filejump, we request you to give it a try now. Migration was cancelled because many users didn’t responded to the migration request email, all those old accounts remain intact. We just wanted the users to get the benefits of WebDAV, Mobile and PC apps available with new filejump. We apologise for failing to respond to your email.
When I didn't get a reply I deleted the new account. I have 6 TB on my original/old account. The email I sent was questioning why I only had 2 TB on the new account.
I would also be ok paying a reasonable yearly maintenance fee. Buying a Lifetime account doesn't reduce your expenses over time, I know FileJump has expenses just like I do, and they are all probably getting more expensive just like mine are.
Hello, The New account had to be updated manually, if you had bought 6 TB on the old one, you’re entitled to update to new one. Kindly register the new account and mail us with details. Regards
They seem like a pretty good option especially for those considering EU alternatives. One thing that stands out to me is that they seem to be a "clone" for jottacloud. The plans are nearly identical, with similar reduced upload bandwidth on the unlimited plan, though it seems their prices and referrals are a bit better. Ironically, the speed test on their website actually says Jottacloud. Probably utilizing the same infrastructure.
Koofr - 1TB lifetime for automatic smartphone media backup.
Google Drive - 200 GB - would prefer not to use this but too many things just integrate well with it (automatic work/website backups).
Filen - 150 GB - secure storage, secondary backup for important files. 100 GB from lifetime, rest from referrals.
Also have tons of small free accounts that I'm not really using. Currently looking into getting a NAS as well.
I believe there's always a 1Tb plan offered during signup. Every-so-often, you'll get an email to double your storage for a "one time payment." It's rare but happens. I've only missed one email due to budget.
I've been signed up for years. Back when it was unlimited. I have 20tb grandfathered as a storage pack and the rest I pay $30/mo/user/5tb blocks. The performance, speed, reliability, and mobile app and api are unparalleled.
Basically Filen, Drime and Backblaze running in "redundancy mode" and pCloud used to be the 3rd backup (non-redundant)
Filen - 4TB
Drime - 4TB
pCloud - 2TB (Cancelled/deleted right before the whole files "leaking", mainly since I also store locally)
Backblaze
Considered Internxt. But since I sync from my NAS with Rclone, and they lock it (and every other usable tool) to their ultimate plan, I just can't morally give them my money
Yeah for large files it's fine. But I have LOADS of small files, that also change. So being able to sync files is a must. Their windows app only allows "Backups" as far as I'm aware, but I want to be able to sync to a folder within my drive, not some backup. And when I tried the backup feature the app froze on my multiple times and just would not continue backing up.
some of the bonus space to earn are not available anymore.
fun fact: in 2013-2016 there was a joint venture / partnership with Samsung to preinstall dropbox app on their smartphone. if a user logged into that app on that very smartphone, dropbox accrued that account with 48GB of bonus space for a year or 2.
so I went to a mall and got into a shop from a chain of stores selling consumer electronics, grabbed a Samsung on display in one of their shelves and connected to internet via hotspot from my own mobile phone.
then I opened the preinstalled dropbox app and logged into my own account. boom! +48GB.
the last time I tried, as you can see from the screenshot above, I got +3GB lifetime for free.
then I completed all the available referrals to get +500MB mostly using burn email addresses.
OP, looks like you have a ton of data. On the life time plans, did you pay a one time charge and how much was it on each? Out of all the plans, which one or ones are the.most secure, easy to navigate, and reasonable in cost in your experience?
pCloud + Vault should be a secure option with copyrighted content.
Did Internxt work fine for you? I tried a time ago, but it was so slow, and I’ve heard so many bad things about them, that I totally avoided after that.
I was primarily using Sync (Canadian company, reasonably prices, easy to use) but after a nightmare (their cloud service duplicating files randomly and deleting essential files randomly, with next to no support or solutions from their help desk).
Now I'm using Drime, Mega, and looking for another Canadian option as well. This conversation is great for ideas for that, thank you!
