I’d like to ask people who use cloud storage what exactly you use it for. I’ve never understood the appeal. I barely use half the storage on my devices and for backups I just have an external drive. Syncing things can be done p2p via something like syncthing. So what is the actual use case for a centralized paid cloud service?
I think is like a team/corporate solution thing. Idk, i don’t get it either.
What’s stopping Jottacloud from becoming Dropbox, or something else related.
I’ve been using Jottacloud for a little under a year now. I use it for photo backups and much more. It has a lot of really good options been happy with it so far. It’s got some quirks still but worth it imo
Chipping in to say that they already have a great CLI app for Linux. I have it set up to auto-backup the Vaultwarden database on my homelab. Just type
jotta-cli add <your folder>and it will be automatically synced!A GUI app is great for making it accessible to more people, though 😊
Interesting, anyone familiar with thrir privacy, securityrecord?
Dude, their pricing is amazing. I signed up for the free tier to try it out first.

€7.5/month for 1TB seems pretty normal to me. Compared to other GDPR-compliant cloud providers* it’s neither cheap nor expensive.
* Drime, pCloud, Inernxt etc.
What isn’t clear to me is if it’s 1tb per user or if it’s 1tb for all 5.
Probably 1tb for all 5
yeah, those prices are epic for retail… like cheap enough to make me skeptical.
Great to see more european services.
I just checked them out. You get unlimited storage for just 12 Euros per month? There must be a downside somewhere?
“”“Unlimited”“”, but they cap your upload after 5TB.
So yeah, essentially unlimited means 5TB apparently.
This honestly seems a fair way to limit it. It doesn’t affect you if you’re just a regular person using it for occasional backups. But if you’re using it to constantly access and update data you ate incentivised to go for the more expensive plans (which imo is fair. 5tb is a lot of working data).
Plus it means the storage limit is a soft limit which allows you to clean it up in your own time.
You’re also assuming that Dropbox and co don’t do the same thing but just don’t tell you.

I don’t assume anything, I just hate on marketing people calling things that clearly are not unlimited unlimited, even more so if these details are buried in some help database. I don’t know what Dropbox and co are doing and honestly don’t care. I essentially only use my own hard drives in combination with a storage box, which both have clear price tags and limits.
5 TB for that price seems fair though, around the same price as a storage box. Just hating the marketing here.
Thanks for the chart. I guess I’d be fine with the upload speeds up to 15 TBs, I’ll have to think about it. The slow down is pretty substantial past that mark.
It’s a company so enshittification is unavoidable.
“Unlimited”, until you hit a certain amount probably, but they likely only expect a small number of users to abuse this.
5TB transfer per month
Any cloud storage without an S3 API is going to be a tough sell for me.
Woop woop
