I'm confused on the lack of naming names. It's not libel if you show the pages being discussed as evidence. So I'm not sure what the cause for the pussyfooting around name and shame.
I bought it from pCloud, and the person I replied to also said in another reply that he was talking about pCloud, so I think we both have had the same experience and it should be ok to name names as one person could be lying but if 2 people who never met each other say the same thing I guess that would make it at least believable
I am fairly happy with pcloud though. Didn't buy for privacy (i use encryption for that), but for cheapness. I am not aware of any violation of trust like what is mentioned here.
But to be honest i have had my files there for few years unencrypted and in US without realizing, so it's not that encryption was needed or anything special, but it just sucks to be a victim of marketing practice advertising "your files are under the jurisdiction of Switzerland" and find out that they never been, then it's a good service? It's debatable, it's cross platform and has good client support for Linux OSes, but from mobile for example i have never been able to show to friends pics and videos, always timed out, and i have good connections, i.e. TMobile and Vodafone for mobile (I'm Italian living abroad)
But whether or not you need encryption, is that ok to advertise something that you don't have?
In that case... I get it. But yeah... Everybody did/does it and it's stupid. And i knew it was stupid back then (even my current mail provider does the same; Belgium yada yada, but have been honest about cooperating with police). I even figured the lifetime option was a sign that they would collapse years ago. But i took a risk, and I have very cheap storage online.
Also. Yes. The Android app is very bad compared to e.g. drive/photos
Great, so to get the full picture of your point, one must read the entire thread.
My actual point, was why in the world would you not post the name of the company in the original post? What thought processes occurred that suggested you shouldn't provide the name in the first place?
