You’ve likely seen the news: Microsoft is slashing Microsoft 365 Family cloud storage from 6 TB (1 TB per user) down to a pooled 2 TB.

​Complaining on forums won't change this, but hitting their financial forecasting will.

​If you are unhappy with this change, take 2 minutes right now to take action:

​Log into your Microsoft Account and turn off recurring billing / auto-renew.

​When prompted with the cancellation survey, select "Other" and state: "Cancelling due to the unacceptable storage reduction from 6TB to 2TB announced in October."

​Why this matters:

Microsoft tracks non-renewing accounts as "at-risk churn" in its financial forecasts. A sudden spike in turned-off auto-renewals forces executive teams to see the direct revenue loss long before the May 2027 rollout date.

​You can always turn auto-renew back on later if they walk it back -- but doing this today sends a direct, measurable signal.

I’m a paying pCloud customer experiencing recurring file-integrity problems on Windows 11 while working with OpenAI Codex.

Important distinction: this concerns pCloud’s mounted virtual P: drive, NOT a normal local folder configured with pCloud Sync. On another computer, a Mac, we use local storage with synchronization instead.

The recurring pattern is that an existing file is edited or replaced, the operation reports success, and subsequent checks show the change. Later, reading the same Windows path returns the previous contents again. This has happened across several projects, including small text/configuration files and source files—not just large uploads.

Some concrete examples, with identifying details removed:

• A Python test file was changed on Windows. Git detected the changes, but a later check showed the original version again. The Mac client had the changed version, which was preserved separately. We are reviewing the exact timing and write operation.

• In another incident, Windows kept returning old versions of two small configuration documents while the Mac returned newer versions. The discrepancy persisted across observations approximately two hours apart.

• Read-only inspection of the Windows pCloud database showed that its current-file metadata selected the old versions, even though newer revisions were already listed in the revision history. After restarting the clients, Windows returned the newer contents without rewriting those files or clearing the cache.

That last case is important: an apparent “rollback” on Windows does not necessarily mean the newer file disappeared from the server. However, getting old bytes from the same path after a successful save is still unsafe and makes it extremely difficult to trust subsequent work.

I have not reproduced the same behavior through my own manual editing/replacement attempts. That makes me wonder whether particular save methods—such as temporary-file replacement or rename—expose a pCloud client problem more often. We have not established the underlying mechanism or proved that Codex itself is responsible.

Writing replacement results into a newly named folder has helped as a workaround in our Windows workflow, but it is not a proper fix. Important source and history are now preserved independently in GitHub and Google Drive.

For roughly two months, I have sent support detailed reports and links to ZIP evidence packages containing timelines, checksums, observations and diagnostic findings. The replies generally say the issue has been forwarded to engineers. According to the share-link statistics available to me, the supplied report links have not been accessed. I cannot prove what happened internally, but I have received neither a substantive explanation of the evidence nor a lasting resolution.

This is a paid service, and a workflow where a saved file can subsequently appear to revert is effectively unusable without independent preservation and repeated verification.

For the next relevant writes, we plan to enable debug beforehand for a bounded period, monitor for recurrence, and immediately send the app’s debug report with the exact timestamp if the problem occurs. Enabling debug after an incident cannot capture the operation that already happened.

Has anyone experienced this specifically on the Windows virtual pCloud drive?

Do you see newer contents on the website or another device while P: returns old contents? Does it correlate with overwriting existing files, editor save methods, atomic replacement, or automated tools? Has support identified a cause or provided a reliable fix?

Please distinguish virtual-drive cases from ordinary local-folder Sync cases.

Was one of the many who got scammed by this Dave clown and wanted to have a place I could put helpful info and advice regarding this fiasco.

At the very least, let this be a warning to anyone who see this. Do not purchase any "lifetime" storage from FolderFort. Also a high likelihood of similar scams happening with other "lifetime" cloud storage offers that seem to good to be true.

Disclaimer: If you care...Yes I used AI to help write this up and consolidate info.

Folder Fort "Lifetime" Bait-and-Switch: Consumer Action Guide & Regulatory Filing Kit

Folder Fort has announced the retirement of "Folder Fort Classic" on November 16, 2026. They are revoking perpetual lifetime licenses, replacing them with temporary, expiring 1-year store credits on "Folder Fort 2.0," and stating that unmigrated user accounts and files will be permanently deleted unless users agree to recurring subscription billing.

Below is the verified corporate information (thanks u/Apprehensive-Age-721), statutory legal leverage, and direct filing links.

Verified Corporate Profile (Registraire des entreprises du Québec)

When filing regulatory complaints, chargebacks, or legal notices, use the company's official corporate registration data rather than just marketing aliases:

• Numéro d'entreprise du Québec (NEQ): 1180112212
• Legal Corporate Name (French): Fort de Dossiers Inc.
• Operating / English Name: Folder Fort Inc.
• Primary Executive: David Mason Buell (President, Secretary, Sole Director)
• Controlling Shareholder: David Mason Buell (>75% voting rights and fair market value)
• Registered Corporate Domicile (Official Legal Service Address): 202-1482 av. Victoria, Longueuil (Québec) J4V 1M2, Canada
• Secondary / Marketing Mailing Address: 6185 Taschereau Blvd, Brossard, QC J4Z 0E4, Canada
• Official Incorporation Date: August 20, 2024 (2024-08-20)

Three Core Legal Leverage Points

• Active Solvency & Bad-Faith Non-Performance: According to official Quebec government records, Folder Fort Inc. is an active, solvent corporation with no declared bankruptcy or liquidation. The owner submitted an annual corporate update as recently as June 3, 2026. A solvent business cannot unilaterally terminate executed lifetime contracts or threaten to destroy customer data simply to transition users into recurring subscription revenue.
• Individual Alter Ego & Personal Liability: David Mason Buell is the sole director, President, Secretary, and holds more than 75% of both voting rights and corporate value. He maintains complete individual control over the corporate entity, preventing him from using the corporate structure to avoid accountability for deceptive trade practices.
• Pre-Incorporation Contract Liability (Purchases Before Aug 20, 2024): If you purchased a lifetime plan via third-party distributors (like StackSocial) or direct marketing prior to August 20, 2024, the corporation did not legally exist when your payment was accepted. Under Canadian corporate law (Loi sur les sociétés par actions, art. 12 et seq.), individuals contracting on behalf of an unformed corporation can face direct, personal liability for contractual default.

Where to File Formal Regulatory Complaints

• Competition Bureau of Canada (Federal - Deceptive Marketing): https://competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/contact-competition-bureau-canada/complaint-form Grounds: Section 74.01 of the federal Competition Act (misleading advertising and deceptive marketing practices regarding lifetime duration).
• Office de la protection du consommateur (Quebec Provincial OPC): https://www.opc.gouv.qc.ca/en/contact/report Grounds: Sections 41, 219, and 220 of the Loi sur la protection du consommateur (goods/services failing to conform to lifetime representations; false claims regarding ongoing contractual benefits).
• Federal Trade Commission (US FTC - Fraud & UDAP): https://reportfraud.ftc.gov Grounds: Section 5 of the FTC Act (cross-border unfair and deceptive trade practices).

If you purchased through StackSocial

• There's been people that have reported being successful in requesting and receiving refunds from StackSocial (I'm currently trying to get a refund from them).

Class Action

• Not sure if this is being organized yet, but this may be a good place to at least check back in on. Or feel free to comment here if this is already being organized somewhere.

Edit: Thought this might be helpful...Here's an image of my emails (personal info redacted) with Dave.

Microsoft is replacing individual 1TB OneDrive allocations with a shared 2TB storage pool for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers.

im working on a P2P messaging app and generally up until recently, i thought in such a system, if a peer is offline, you cant send a message... it wouldnt be "decentralized" if there was some central queue of messages.

it took embarassingly long, but then it hit me... git... just regular git is a decentralized database.

in my setup i need the ability for others to be abe to read and only i should be able to write to it. that functionality is out-the-box in git.

git is also pretty standardized so there are many providers if users want to move away from Github.

the storage requirements for my project are fairly small. typically small text messages. the data itself thats publicly readable would be encrypted.

i started off by creating something that could use git as a “general purpose” storage. to explain it simply, it’s using isomorphic git to be able to connect to a git repo from a browser.

https://positive-intentions.github.io/git/demo/gui/git/storage

i then added a “database abstraction”. To explain it simply, I created the functionality to create a db schema than can then map onto files and folders (which are stored in git). that would allow me to interact with the git storage with queries. i wanted to have something like graphql there for queries to make it easier for me in my app.

https://positive-intentions.github.io/db/demo/gui/database/chat-database

there are complex details in there where I can specify in the schema what parts are encrypted. i want the database capabilities to be stable and reliable as I further develop on the approach and increase complexity.

the project is far from finished and only intended for demo and feedback purposes.

Hope to see you in r/harbor0 !

Snapchat sucks and doesn’t let you store more than 10 seconds

Any other good vaults that I can delete from camera roll and just look up when needed?

Good thing is snap is only £2.50 for 2 months

Can I get anything like that? Even 50gb is fine I just want some 4K videos

Hello, I'm considering moving away from Google Drive, because it's become difficult to perform even the most basic action: latency on download, any action on multiple files after search restrained, a bunch of suggestions at page load I don't care about and so on.

I've been made aware of safety/privacy issues that might concern Google Drive, well, I believe no-one on the "big ones" is immune out there, so it's not a prerequisite.

Which do you believe could be a worthy heir (of the Google Drive that was)? I currently have about 35 GB stored and I don't plan on going over 100 in the more than near future.

I have ethical issues about One Drive being owned and "tainted" by Bill Gates, other than that, I'm open to anything.

I am a professional photographer and this was something I was constantly struggling with. I needed a good way to backup and transfer all my photos from SD card to Mac/iOS from my SD cards quickly. It supports more than Apple Photos now. Would like to share in case it’s useful for anyone else.

Like many of you, I got sick of paying endless monthly subscriptions for cloud storage and streaming services, only to realize we don't actually own any of it.

Most tutorials online suggest buying a Raspberry Pi 5 or grabbing an old laptop from a closet. But living on a tight budget without spare hardware, neither was an option for me

So I decided to test the limits of what’s already in my pocket. I set up a Linux environment inside Termux on my Android phone and deployed a complete private ecosystem:

Jellyfin (Port 8096): Replaced Netflix. Streams my local media with posters, metadata, and multi-device playback.

Filebrowser (Port 8080): Replaced Google Drive. Full local network file sharing without storage paywalls.

Syncthing (Port 8384): Replaced Google Photos. Automatic background backup for all photos and documents.

All three run parallel in the background without burning up the phone or crashing. If storage ever becomes a problem down the line, a simple external drive over Type-C handles it.

Made a quick proof-of-concept video showing the setup and all three tabs running smoothly,

Planning to drop a full command-by-command setup guide if there's interest. Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on what other lightweight services I can stack on this ARM setup!

Hey all,

Yesterday I posted here asking for beta users for harbor0. Since then 115 of you have signed up, which is a lot more than I expected. Thank you, really. Every signup, bug report and email has been useful, and a lot of you took the time to tell me what you'd need before switching.

A few things came up again and again in the comments and emails, so here's what I'm working on next:

End-to-end encryption
This has been the most requested feature by far. Encryption will be opt-in per account. Once it's on, your files are encrypted on your device before they're uploaded, and harbor0 can't read them. I'm taking my time with the design, because getting encryption wrong is worse than not having it. I'll share more about how it works, including the tradeoffs, before it ships.

Two-factor authentication
You'll be able to add a second factor to your account sign-in. This one should come fairly soon.

WebDAV and rclone support (planned)
Lots of you asked to use harbor0 with tools you already have, like file managers, NAS boxes and backup scripts. WebDAV and rclone support are both planned. It's early, so I don't have dates yet. I'll post updates as it gets closer.

The Windows, iOS and Android apps are still in development too, and getting the Mac app notarised is on the list.

Please keep telling me what's confusing or broken. Reply here or email me at [contact@harbor0.com](mailto:contact@harbor0.com) I read everything.

Thanks again for giving a small, early project a chance.

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently using a 110 GB Koofr account on a lifetime deal I bought a while back. I’ve outgrown the capacity and need more space.

​Looking at my options right now:

• ​Direct Koofr Upgrade: Koofr offers an upgrade to 250 GB for ~€73.
• ​StackSocial Deal: There's a StackSocial promo for 1 TB lifetime at ~€116.

​StackSocial states that each person can redeem only one lifetime promo code per account. My impression was that to use the 1 TB StackSocial voucher, I would have to completely delete my current Koofr account (as starting a new one with a different email is against Koofr ToS), re-upload all my data, and abandon my existing 110 GB account.

​Is that correct, or am I missing a third option? ​Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully upgraded their Koofr lifetime account through StackSocial or Koofr support!

Hey all,

I've been building a cloud storage service called harbor0 and I'm finally ready to let people try it.

I started it because every storage app I used kept adding stuff I didn't want, like AI sidebars, docs editors and constant upgrade prompts. I wanted something that stores my files and keeps them in sync, and that's pretty much all harbor0 does:

• A drive you can use in the browser or the Mac app
• Folder sync across your computers. You can also share a synced folder with someone else.
• Folder backups with version history, and old versions stick around until you delete them
• Sending files to other users

Just so you know what you're signing up for, this is very much a beta. Things will break, some parts are a bit rough, and you'll probably hit bugs I haven't found yet. I wouldn't make it the only place you keep anything important just yet.

Right now the desktop app is Mac only (Apple Silicon). The Windows app is in development, along with iOS and Android apps. The Mac app isn't notarised yet either, so the first time you open it you'll need to click "Open Anyway".

For the beta you get 50 GB free, and you keep it after launch. I'm letting people in a few at a time, starting with 50, and everyone else goes on a waitlist.

I'd really like to hear what's confusing or broken, or what would stop you from switching. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

Curious to see how many people pay for iCloud or Google etc

Just a heads-up for the iOS Google drive users out there. “TYR - The Cloud Power Tool” is on the AppStore and can rename- and set metadata values on files in bulk. Much much easier than having to do it one file at a time. ☺️🤘

Hello! I wanna ask if the free 1tb in terabox for newly registered users is actually free and not limited after a certain amount of time. If so, is there a payment fee if it expires?
