> "I wished more people would see the endgame in situations like these: you're going to be paying through the nose for something that was already yours." This very scenario occurred in 2014 with Bitcasa, when they increased their prices from $99/yr for infinite storage to $999/yr for 10TB [1], and only gave 3 weeks to migrate files [2]. I don't think I've ever cancelled an account so quickly & with such anger. Luckily I'd only stored ~100GB of backups so far on there, but lesson learned - the cloud is for sharing/collaboration & backups, not primary storage, always have local copies as well & always have contingencies so you can switch online providers immediately with little impact.
