  • Thanks for the recap. I tried looking at the incident from April that you linked but it now returns a 404. That's not a good look for transparency.

    Yup - put that right at the start of the article - and notified Filen.io as a bug report, in case it is an honest mistake.
    Red flag IMO.

    Awww. Thanks - appreciate it. <3

    Fair to note that even though "extra storage" from that link is maxed out, but if I understand correctly, the link should also have granted you an extra 10 GB of storage (please correct me if I'm wrong), so it should still be a net-win. :)

    • Still no proper Rclone support, just their own CLI (has anyone here tried that?).

    Have also been trialling them very tentatively with a view to maybe grabbing a BF special.

    I did try the CLI under Linux using the WebDAV server and that seemed to work OK. More recently have been using the beta rclone implementation under Windows purely for backup document storage and again that seems to work fine for me, though light use via the rclone VFS cache. Was hoping it might make it into upstream rclone by now, it is apparently under review for that and I note it's been updated very recently.

  • I have a very small lifetime plan with them. TBH the feeling I get from their subreddit and discord is very much one of "just wait, it's about to be great." Maybe I'm just paranoid, and I don't have a lot of real-world use of the service myself, being upfront, but it feels like it's always on the edge of something instead of being a viable service as-is.

    I wrote in greath length about that state of mind (and running business) on my blog.

    I see it everywhere when I scratch the surface, it is how practically everything is run nowadays, it only differs by how much it's noticeable/visible with different companies.

    So it's probably never going to get all good and polished, but my dilemma is whether it will be useful, or a take-money-and-run operation.
