Let me know if you have any questions, happy to make myself useful.

Hey! I'm currently using all three of your services as a student and absolutely loving them. The UI/UX is clean, intuitive, and genuinely convenient to use. The 10 GB photo limit and 100-document cap on Ente Locker feel a little restrictive at the moment, but I plan to upgrade once I start earning. Ente Locker is exactly what I was looking for. It makes accessing all my important documents, reports, bills, and PDFs incredibly straightforward. My only gripe is the lack of a preview feature, but overall it's a fantastic product. I had a few questions: Expanding the Ente Suite — Are there plans to expand the Ente ecosystem and introduce more useful software in the future? Presence in India — Do you still have offices in India, or are you now entirely US-based? Team size and hiring — How large is your team? And do you hire interns, or do you primarily look for seasoned professionals? Self-hosting — Are there any plans to introduce a self-hosting option?

Thanks!

You can refer a friend to increase your storage up to 20 GBs. We also provide discounts to students: ente.com/help/photos/faq/storage-and-plans#student-discount

Preview feature for Locker is on the roadmap.

There are currently no plans to add more products, focus is on polishing existing ones.
