Norwegian Dropbox rival Jottacloud is finally working on a desktop app for Linux. Jottacloud, run by Jotta Group AS, has been around since 2008, offering
This honestly seems a fair way to limit it. It doesn’t affect you if you’re just a regular person using it for occasional backups. But if you’re using it to constantly access and update data you ate incentivised to go for the more expensive plans (which imo is fair. 5tb is a lot of working data).
Plus it means the storage limit is a soft limit which allows you to clean it up in your own time.
You’re also assuming that Dropbox and co don’t do the same thing but just don’t tell you.

I don’t assume anything, I just hate on marketing people calling things that clearly are not unlimited unlimited, even more so if these details are buried in some help database. I don’t know what Dropbox and co are doing and honestly don’t care. I essentially only use my own hard drives in combination with a storage box, which both have clear price tags and limits.
5 TB for that price seems fair though, around the same price as a storage box. Just hating the marketing here.
I mean, the storage is still unlimited though? You can keep putting data into it constantly and it’ll never say your storage is full.
And they aren’t hiding it either. They tell you up front on the plan comparison that speeds will be reduced above a certain point. All the information is there to evaluate the specs.
Thanks for the chart. I guess I’d be fine with the upload speeds up to 15 TBs, I’ll have to think about it. The slow down is pretty substantial past that mark.
“”“Unlimited”“”, but they cap your upload after 5TB.
So yeah, essentially unlimited means 5TB apparently.
