(Quote) So, they do redact their status pages? https://status.filen.io/

(Quote) As far as I could see, they were saying they will reduce and probably completely cut lifetime sales. Then, this summer, they posted about that this Black Friday may be the last lifetime sale, but that "starter" lifetime will probab…

(Quote) There still are. For around $1200 one-time payment. Edit: that is $1300 (the '99 pricing trick got me! ) That is ten more years of annual updates if prices double (and 20 according to current pricing).

I use whatever ships by the factory in Mint, Ubuntu, and Windows (cmd and Powershell). Also, on Windows, I sometimes use PuTTY (because the "factory" terminal sometimes refuses to work in SSH). Internet is full of screenshots, but if you …

(Quote) Don't worry, it's just a hobby, not an occupation (pun intended)!

(Quote) The Owned had always had subscription, but it was $39 until this increase. I think you'll need the subscription in order to get the new version to install, if you decide to.

(Quote) I wrote in greath length about that state of mind (and running business) on my blog. https://blog.bikegremlin.com/1122/zeitgeist/ I see it everywhere when I scratch the surface, it is how practically everything is run nowadays, it only dif…

(Quote) 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 …

(Quote) 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.

Updating this, while I'm sobering up from last night. Finally did some proper testing instead of just theorising over beers. In detail notes and test results: https://io.bikegremlin.com/38871/filen-io-testing-and-notes/ TL/DR: * Works fine for bi…

(Quote) Macrium Reflect is GUI for whole system images. Subscription only now, unfotunately. Acronis too - subscription only too. FileZilla if he wants to only copy files to a storage (Hetzner Storage Box is not expensive).
-
Thanks. So, I'd have to self-host it - and they list some prices for self hosting (that is confusing). Sounds crazy. Fuck it. I'll go with a bicycle. It's good for health and for the environment. And yeah - Teamviewer did what Anydesk has started …

(Quote) LOL. Good one. :) Serbia is a Windows country (there was even some official Microsoft partnership at the start of the century). Practically everyone I know uses Windows only.

(Quote) Photos work fine on browser and phone. My main use for Pcloud is sharing photos with family. :) Pcloud encrypted "Crypto folder" is slow - seems like it's throttled, since encryption happens on my browser, with a good PC and fast…
-
(Quote) I've been testing it for a few months. Haven't had problems for what I use it: storage of data. I could even browse photos via phone - directly from the app, but I hardly ever need that (and pcloud is a lot better for that). This looks like…

@Ympker - last chance for this lifetime! LOL :) Filen.io https://filen.io/hub/black-friday-2025-the-final-return-of-pro-lifetime-plans/ Prices of the previous Black Friday: (Image) Based on the announcing that this is the last lifetime, and …

(Quote) Would mailing not be practical? (Image)

(Quote) 870 should be slightly faster - and hopefully the same durability.

(Quote) 860 EVO has served me well (still going strong). Haven't tried the 870 EVO. Went the M.2 NVMe route after the 860.

(Quote) Samsung SSD. :)

Keeping an eye out for a filen.io and pcloud.com lifetime discount. Both if possible, for a not-huge amoun of storage. Just to test both a bit more and see how it works out for my use case.

(Quote) You wish to destroy the entire Balkan?!?! :)

(Quote) The Good Cloud website has links that lead to just their "blog page" instead of to where they are expected to. That doesn't look very promising. To see and compare prices also seems to require a bit more clicking on the site. Anot…

(Quote) For context: my reply was related to the option of one of installing Nextcloud on their own, in a shared hosting environment (in general). If a provider offers Softaculous with shared hosting plans, one could also try the Softaculous' Nextc…
-
@AlwaysSkint and @SGraf - it is fair to note that the reseller/shared hosting providers I use offer SSH, and that is very helpful at times (not just for Nextcloud). Without SSH, I am not sure how my install would have fared.

(Quote) Hetzner's managed Nextcloud looks like a good option in terms of both money and time: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/ (Quote) One of the reasons for posting here was to hear if there are wiser and perhaps simpler alternatives…
