- citricsquid 15y agoThis is a VERY different message. LiveDrive are saying they have terminated EVERYTHING, Backify are saying that free accounts are being terminated next week if they don't start to pay. Which is right?
- samarudge 15y agoI'm inclined to trust LiveDrive, Two reasons; 1) LiveDrive are a well respected, well known company with a good history of service and customer support. I use them as my main backup service (I never actually used Backify, just wanted to see what it was like) and trust them as such. 2) I just tried to log into my account and can't =) If LiveDrives concerns about cards have some substance last nights message might have been a last ditch attempt at getting as much information as possible
