Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

      Sorry but you are using the wrong cloud storage provider.

      I’ve switched to pCloud on black Friday. It was a one time payment for 2TB lifetime (10TB is also available) cloud storage. I checked and it was ~250€ at the time.

      Considering the amount of HDD I’ve burned through in the early years I’ve already saved a couple thousand dollars and I haven’t lost any file since.

      Just make sure to watch their price as they currently have a sale and I don’t believe for 1 second that the initial price was in fact 1140€ for 2TB as advertised.
