  • (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…
  • (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 th…
  • (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 th…
  • 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, …
  • (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 incl…
  • (Quote) In my country it's "Grandpa Frost" ("Deda Mraz"). :) (Image)
  • (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 (ho…
  • 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…
  • 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…
  • For well over a decade (at least) the writing's been on the wall. * More control and surveilance. * Less personal liberties. * More power to the state (increased penalties for whatever they can push and similar). In most major cities (and soo…
  • (Quote) Yes, Livecanvas. I've already started testing and writing notes - not much time, but it is a start. I'll check out the MerakiUI (ask @Amadex to explain what "merak" means LOL :) ). Still considering whether I should p…
  • Got the lifetime licence for testing. Thanks again to @Ympker for pointing me towards it. I'll share notes once I've tested it properly (my I/O site RSS feed for those who like that :) ).
