I've just backed up just over 25GB to Zoolz cloud storage and so far so good :j
Zoolz is currently giving 100GB storage free for life, don't know if it's useful to anyone.
Here is the link...

    They must be crossing their fingers that they dont get many people uploading 100GB.

    3 million users worldwide? Something wrong with their figures? Or do barely any of these 3 million users pay them any money?

    Some online reviews suggest that one good feature is it prevents video piracy by screening for filenames that indicate torrent use. Any naughty subscribers can have their accounts closed, but there's nothing to fear for ordinary users. :)

    what about myholidayvideo.zip :)

    Or just user a generic number for the filename or the IMDB ID number for that movie?

    Are you sure you've not signed up to the wrong service. They do offer free trials for the paid versions as well.
    The OP's link was to this page

    All I saw was an App, to upload from PC you need a vault, oh what a surprise it is an upsell.

    No thanks.

    I can go create accounts on Mega.nz at 50gb at a time just for an email address, I would not rely on it by itself but as part of a number of strategies.
    Thanks, don't you just hate people with sigs !

    I used the link to the free 100gb service. I registered my email address and a password and downloaded their software.

    When I tried to backup it wouldn't recognise my login details so I clicked register rather than logon and used the same email address and password that I used initially. (Maybe that's the point I accidentally registered for their 50GB paid for service).

    At the bottom of the Zoolz Dashboard it shows both Cloud Instant Storage (50GB), which I shall ignore and Cold Storage (100GB) to which I have uploaded a small amount for test purposes.

    I will wait till the 14 days is up until I upload lots more data just in case I lose my account.
