MXroute (my notes) has served me very well since 2018. Lifetime well worth it - for peace of mind primarily (no credit card renewals, failed payment worries etc). For a really low budget alternative, you may look into NameCrane's Cranemail (my note…

(Quote) In my experience, with an old forum: past a certain point, even if I used the old php version (5.4 was in that case if memory serves me), the available DB version installed on the shared hosting server could no longer support the forum's sof…

(Quote) Best vintage!

(Quote) Filen performance when using browser seems to be a lot better compared to Pcloud's encrypted vault. I haven't tested Koofr speed extensivelly as I have only a free tier, but if they managed to get a similar speed, that would be cool. Anothe…

(Quote) Yes, it has that like internal vault option - similar to Pcloud (only Koofr doesn't charge extra for it). Did you test the upload and download performance for the vault-stored files (with Pcloud it is unusably slow)? Does it work with Koof…

(Quote) Koofr doesn't come with encryption out of the box. For using my own encrypt/decrypt, I find Hetzner + Rclone to be the optimal combination, but that is not noob-friendly IMO. (Quote) Yes, I think so. As @Mumbly noted it's from the serbocro…

(Quote) Based on the roadmap, new sync app is going to be built... some day (plan was for this year's last quarer, but that's passed in a few days. They seem to be aware of the bugs and problems - and we'll see if they'll fix them. Giving it a res…

Turns out that even one-way sync (from local HDD to Filen cloud) is not working reliably via the desktop app (Rclone and CLI support is in experimental or beta phase at best). That makes the service's use very limited (not completely useless, but p…

(Quote) My experience so far has been quite bad (edit "bad" is a broad term, what pains me may be a no problem for others) practically weekly service down with no heads up or acknowledgement at 9:30 AM in my time zone (that is the particu…

(Quote) Not arguments, just thoughs: This depends on what you use it for. My archive including the music and films I consider worthy saving fits into 1 TB. That's without stuff I store for family friends and some work crucials. With that included,…

(Quote) Policy is that my payment email (pay pal in this case) must be my contact email with my account. No exceptions, apparently (I opened a ticket to explain and ask). Edit: so I use my domain email on Paypal- and I am hosting the same domain o…

Client migrated. Monday work open. Cranemail all services effectively down (timing out and not sending emails) - for 2 hours now. I did recommend MXroute first, but that was out of budget for larger storage plans, but I did recommend Cranemail then…

(Quote) The answer I was hoping for. Namecrane has been in the business for well over five years and have a decent reputation. This just got me thinking. Edit - for context: I'm "risking" a 2 TB lifetime deal to sort a client out (hope th…

TOS section 1.2: https://namecrane.com/legal/terms-of-service "1,2 - NameCrane may cancel or suspend your access to NameCrane services at any time and for any reason without notice. Upon cancellation or suspension, your right to use the servi…

(Quote) Out of the game for over a decade now. I can't confirm or deny this.

(Quote) After a few weeks of testing it does seem that for the spam that I'm getting, Cranemail does a bit better filtering (with no false positives yet). But I think that also depends on the configuration. I set Mxroute's email filter to let more …

Small bumps at the start, but so far quite good - hopefully Namecrane will become a good Mxroute alternative/backup. Testing intensively while planning to move a client to Namecrane thanks to enough storage to allow webmail and IMAP use for ~40 ema…

I would say Lenovo business class laptops. Edit: ThinkPad T (or X if you want ultra-portable) series - though L is OK too - got one. Note: as much as I love Linux (and use it as a daily driver - half of the PCs I regularly use run Linux), it is lac…
