It occurs to me that perhaps we're paying WAY TOO MUCH for cloud storage.

These are *lifetime* prices for Filen, a service that's and headquartered in Germany. Barebones when it comes to features, but you get what you pay for.

EDIT: "Lifetime" is admittedly a very vague term, and I agree it can be a leap to trust this type of offering. Thoughts?

@killyourfm I've done a 'Lifetime' with Icedrive. It's not been bad so far, I think after about 3 and a half more years I'll start saving money on the deal.
I think as long as you have the upfront cash to buy the 'lifetime' deals, and intend on using that storage for years and years, it can be a good deal.

@adamthomasmusic Provided the company intends to stick around long enough! Thanks for sharing your experience, appreciate it.

@killyourfm or that they don't intend on selling their business to another company

@dexternemrod @adamthomasmusic NICE! Well I'm going to take Filen for a spin, and if I enjoy the experience I'll spring for a lifetime purchase. They also seem very transparent, and have a roadmap, both of which I sincerely appreciate.
