From what I can gather, BigStash is a rebrand of Deepfreeze.io, which itself is a sideproject of Longaccess.com, launched in 2013.
Not sure why, but the old saying 'if it's too good to be true, it probably is' keeps going around my head.
5tb would cost you what, £170 to purchase? (Brief Google search, feel free to correct me). Multiply that by the amount of customers that will sign up for this and it seems a little bit of a loss maker to me.
Note this is all just conjecture on my part, and I could be completely wrong.

- vrypan 12y agoHi, I'm the founder of BigStash. The idea is simple: this is an archiving service in the cloud. If you want to test an archiving service in the cloud, you will probably want to upload multiple GB. We wanted our users to feel free to use the service in order to decide if it fits their needs. Yes, if you store 5TB it will cost you $500 next year. But that's relatively cheap compared to most other cloud storage services.
