What are your thoughts on filen? I don’t seem to be able to find a community for them here, but it seems like a pretty solid up and coming company for secure cloud storage options.

    They’ve been around a bit now. Everyone seems to be pretty satisfied. Desktop app could use some improvements, which is already on their roadmap

      I’ve never seen anyone say they’re dissatisfied. I’ve seen claims that lifetime plans are a bad business model and I’ve seen one of the owners say they are careful to limit them. Their apps suck but I use them as an off site archive for my most precious data and while I wouldn’t let them be my only backup they have yet to cause me issues in several years.

        I actually emailed their support asking about the lifetime licensing, and they did mention they calculate/ limit the lifetime licenses to be sustainable. I hope they are able to succeed and be around for a while with their price modeling. Maybe lifetime won’t be for sale for much longer
