The sites listed below have various limitations and restrictions. The primary purpose of a file sharing site is to allow you to send large files to someone else without having to worry about file size restrictions on email accounts. Many of the sites mentioned here do more than one of these tasks. NOTE: The line between file sharing sites and backup/sync sites and cloud services is becoming more and more blurry. Better yet, please post a complete review of the site on the forum - include the pros, the cons, any costs associated with it, and why you are recommending (or NOT recommending) it.

It’s just more deception from the likes of MyPCBackup, Just Cloud, and all the rest of the JDI Backup line of companies. They hide the full price, and hope customers won’t notice or won’t care. Notice how they only state the monthly price? That’s because the total price is over a hundred dollars. has several complaints for JustCloud.Ĭ has a post on all these companies too – check out the comments section for more reviews from angry customers. Real customer reviews at CNET prove these services are no good. They’re all fake – they didn’t even change the customer names on each website. Customers Hate Themĭon’t believe the customer testimonials on their websites. You can pay extra money to get 5GB, but it is not “unlimited”. The Unlimited Storage LieĪnother lie from the JDI Backup team of companies is that they offer unlimited cloud storage. This is downright frightening for any online backup service. How can they advertise everything is “Encrypted & Secure”? Because they encrypt the transfer of your data, not the actual storage. I confirmed through JustCloud tech support that customer data isn’t stored encrypted. So you don’t even notice you’re getting screwed until after you’ve signed up. ![]() The worst part about these upsells: they’re hidden until after paying for the service. ![]() Want to backup videos? That will cost you extra…it goes on and on. Want to “speed up” your backups? That will cost you extra. Want to backup more than once a day? That will cost you extra. All these companies do a massive amount of upselling for basic features. Upselling is a sales technique to encourage the customer purchase add-ons to make a more profitable sale. Ones that actually care about the security of your data. ![]() Ones that don’t nickel and dime you for extra features. There are much better online backup services out there. If you’re thinking about signing up for any of them – don’t. I feel I have a duty to inform people about the deceptive business practices behind these companies (which are all owned by JDI Backup).
