I’m looking exactly for something like that. But 2.99 Euro a month is too expensive, when even Apple only wants 99 cents.
You can read about our replication strategy here: https://ente.io/reliability
We could in the future offer cheaper plans at the cost of additional replicas.
We all want cool things, secure, where our data is protected and we are not the product, but 3 euros a month is too much?
No wonder big tech gets bigger and the rich get richer. The silicon valley VC funded feifdoms become more entrenched and, in the end, we all suffer for it
Over a 10 year horizon, the difference between 1€/m and 3€/m is a mere 240€.
That's like 2-5 extra work hours over the course of 10 years!
I seriously don't get how someone working in tech would fear bankruptcy over this.
Now Ente could of course choose to keep lesser replicas and offer "lite" plans that are more affordable. But we would rather not complicate our pricing structure right now. Understanding buckets of GBs is hard enough, and adding tiers on top would worsen the experience for most.
All of that said, Filen does seem like a really cool project for storing files.
