A lifetime cloud storage plan providing 20 terabytes of encrypted space is available for a one-time payment of $349.95. The offer, from Scramble Cloud, represents a substantial discount from its regular price of $1,440.
This lifetime storage option aims to address the recurring costs associated with traditional cloud storage subscriptions, which can escalate as users accumulate more data. Scramble Cloud's model allows for a single purchase, eliminating the need for ongoing monthly or annual payments.
The service features zero-knowledge security and end-to-end encryption, meaning that only the user can access their data. Files are encrypted before leaving the user's device. The storage plan includes unlimited bandwidth.
Users can access their files through various methods, including a web interface, desktop applications, WebDAV, and command-line tools. The platform supports secure file sharing, streaming of encrypted videos, and team collaboration. Files can be organized into familiar folder structures.
There are some limitations to be aware of: daily uploads are capped at 70GB, and individual files cannot exceed 5GB. These constraints are noted as unlikely to be a barrier for most users backing up common file types such as photos, videos, and documents.
The 20TB capacity is intended to accommodate years of photos, videos, creative projects, backups, and other personal files. The company positions this lifetime purchase as a more economical long-term solution compared to the cumulative cost of rental cloud storage.
