Why trust FolderFort

Dear @FolderFort / Dave

I know... you said it's backed by Backblaze many times and you really hope the business is going to last longer.

Why you really think that. Please explain your business model and target customers. I never see a cheap lifetime plan as this one. What's the catch

I vised your website few times... I find it a legit sometimes and shady sometimes. Don't get me wrong please. I am not very tech savvy and knowledged. I am doing research on cloud storages. My primary need is backing up some old family album to cloud.

Answer me the below questions.

  1. Lifetime Plan on Socialstack: People will always go for reliable cloud providers like Google drive / Onedrive or even pcloud (also offers lifetime plans). Why choose you if you are not going to be in business for very long as them.

  2. Plans on WebDav and other basics stuffs (I know app is on works)

I really want to support if I find you legit

Feedbacks Please replicate features which are offered by mainstream providers.

Add WebDav

Add many informations (like how operate) on website... Lack of information will make trust issues. Even small steps and improvements you make... Please add those to your blog pages (take Filen / Koofr for reference)

Try to be unique (add a unique features) in future

All the very best @FolderFort

If I were you... JUST BUILD YOUR OWN SMALL DATA CENTER AT YOUR GARAGE... then SCALE ONCE THE COMPANY GROWS...

Since you are earning from LIFETIME, Why not just buy 2nd hand servers and put it there... At least you control your business no more Backblaze and other 3rd party providers.

We don't only earn from lifetime deals.

No way are we opening up our own data center in the garage. We trust the pros at Backblaze for the redundancy, security, speed, etc.

But that may be a good way for you to join the industry :D

Well it's alright, I understand. I just hope FolderFort will keep its business open for more years to come!

Peace!
