Solid offer in terms of price (lifetime = 99 years).
You might want to watch out for their encryption procedures. Client side encryption is an additional subscription/one-time-payment and it is not really clear how the serverside enrcyption works.
Also: unless you check the box for European hosting, a backup will be sent to a cloud in Texas.
I use rclone to encrypt for free
Need a simple solution for my family.
The support had no good answer on how the server site encryption works.
No matter what they might claim, lifetime really means the lifetime of the company. If they go out of existence in five years, so does your lifetime plan.
Obviously. Like with any company.
FYI, E2EE is sold as an add-on and only works within one specific folder.
I can recommend Hetzner Storage Share. Its a managed Nextcloud solution, runs smoothly. I am very happy with it for >1 year. Also very cheap.
I self hosted NC before, but I wont waste my time on performing updates anymore.
“Based in” often means they just have an address in the Canton of Zug (the Swiss Delaware) for tax purposes. According to Wikipedia they operate from Bulgaria. Which still is Europe but doesn’t sound so marketable.
My brother is using this and is quite happy with it. I personally went for a hosted Nextcloud on Hetzner for 5€/month for 2tb, sharing it and the costs with a few friends.
Edit: Oops, it’s “only” 1tb https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
