what would you call a service that allows you to upload an unlimited amount of files then? I honestly felt it sounded like most of "unlimited" plans - backblaze

what would you call a service that allows you to upload an unlimited amount of files then? I honestly felt it sounded like most of "unlimited" plans - backblaze, yahoo inbox, amazon prime, etc
- seldo 15y agoMy problem is not the "unlimited" part so much as the way it obfuscates the fact that it achieves this by storing your files online. To a technologist it's obvious what's going on; to the average user watching this video, I don't think it's clear that this product requires Internet connectivity to function -- in a couple places, it even appears to suggest that it doesn't, e.g. the "clunky web service" line.
- cleverjake 15y agoUnderstood, but I think that everyone save the most novice of all users understands that any subscription service they are paying for is not a piece of hardware. And therefore, since you cannot increase storage on a harddrive, it must go somewhere other than your computer, which implies a connected network. Am I being too optimistic?
- itsnotvalid 15y agoClearly they need to work on a better video. The disrupt showcase was much more informational on those aspects. They mentioned caches, pricing, etc.
