Does anyone of you know filen.io? Do you trust it? The Pricing is so attractive and I never heard of that company before, so it seems a bit too good to be true. What do you think?

at €300 per 2tb? that’s like 10x the current cost of storage. sounds like a reasonable price to provide what is really just a modest quota, indefinitely, so long as there isn’t a wave of ‘fires’ across southeast asia that puts every hdd and most nand facilities out of commission and storage costs skyrocket to prices never before seen.
Unlimited anything (time or space) tends to be much more common among unprofessional companies who don’t last that long or add limits after the fact anyway.
It’s fairly common to give a (sense of) a good deal to new people while raising a bit more money roght now than you would with a traditional subscription.
Then later when you start getting more users quicker you cancel that offer and nee users have to use a subscription (which will make you more money over time).
Protonmail did something similar originally, giving out Visionary for life for a (large) one-time fee. It’s a decent strategy to raise money from people who believe in your product.
there’s nothing stopping the company from discontinuing the sale of new ‘lifetime’ plans should there ever be a concern about the ‘costs’ to serve those who already have it. as it is now, they have a fairly high price on a very modest amount of space, and it appears to me that they’re covering their ass here wrt future servicing costs.
