(And you don’t even have to actively close your account because they reserve the right to close an account when you haven’t logged in for a year.) Of course, you can still use it, but they are probably counting on a certain percentage giving up their rediculously small and slow pcloud, despite it being “free” for them. (Plus, one might add, whatever you save is not the same as what you are costing the company.) Also, you can expect that the pcloud service that you buy now may well be obsolete in 5-10 years time because of new technologies etc etc. You are not saving $100 every year until you die. They’re not giving away a lot of storage for free, they are letting you keep a limited amount of storage for a long time.Īnd that brings me to the third point: storage is getting cheaper over time so that the value of that “free storage” decreases. Lifetime, on the other hand, cannot be abused because the “free storage” for the user only accumulates over time. For one thing, our lives do eventually come to an end and thereby the subscription.īut more importantly, unlimited storage means that you can put unlimited data onto that account right now.
There are some important differences between unlimited and lifetime. Anyone who is offers lifetime accounts or unlimited storage fishy in my book, the economics of that simply cannot work.
