PCloud allows multiple logins? we are family of 3 needs to share the storage connects our cell phone pic automatic upload.

You need the family plan to share logins and have user configurable quota for 5 users.that plan is $500 for life time.

Lifetime? 10 years at most i'd say.

If it goes to even 3 to 4 years it's paid itself off that's my hope 5+ year is free ride..

You can access your storage from 5+ devices if you don't need separate quotas and are comfortable with every device having the same access (i.e. wife/kids/etc).

If you have sensitive data you want to conceal from people you know then you might want to think about putting it in the cloud to start with. Personally I wouldn't put any unencrypted data in the cloud or trust the providers crypto option either. I'm using pCloud via encrypted rclone mounts across several devices and so far its pretty good.

So if you use cryptomator don't need their pcrypto? And also thr 9.99 is only for Google app for desktop app is cryptomator free? Isn't it better or cheaper to get their family one for 2tb for 500$ you can share with 5 and split the cost...
Unless each family member needs a 'private' space, just create a folder for each family member, then they can created their own sub-folders.

Everyone will use the same login, just sharing the account space.

Don't ever buy this. I purchased and was made to believe that lifetime is 5 years. They cancelled my service. This is a fraud company
B.S.

Lifetime is for the lifetime of the company...NOT 5 years.

I have already had mine for over 5 years.

All free, except for the cost of the Pi, the cost of your parents internet every month, the hard disks, the power it draws every year. The cost of any hardware failure replacement.. And your parents house is not as secure as a data center. Any way, way more than $250.
WTF are you talking about? A pi is $35. Power draw per year is minimal. And we all have more than 2TB HD's sitting around, which cost a whopping $30 anyways. C'mon, stop it.

Hardware failure replacement costs for a Pi 4. LOL.

I am not against home cloud but I like to diversify just like stocks, I have icloud, Google drive and now this and also have a NAS. You can never not have enough good backups of your most important stuff, I use the online cloud to supplement and serve as extra backup..I used to have crash plan before they went bonkers and biz plan also sucked..that's why diversify diversify never trust 1 provider now granted Apple and Google won't die but they are not as cheap as these other life time or big size ones..

I totally agree. But that guy talking about hardware replacement costs for a $35 SOC just made me laugh out loud.

Signed up for their 2TB lifetime I believe last BF or Christmas and it's still working great!

Been getting quite some updates as well on their desktop and android app very frequent. So got nothing but good things to say about their services.

So, you are storing your BI data in pCloud? Interesting concept and the service is fast enough to keep up that data? How much are you uploading a month?

I am curious since I easily fill up 2TB of data on my BI (720 stream 24/7 and 2-4K stream on activity) in 5-14 days depending on what's going on.
My database is stored locally on an SSD.

I keep the first 10gb on PCloud, then move it local for something like 1TB (3 weeks worth of 24/7 recording, don't recall all of my resolutions, I kind of set it and forget it 2 or 3 years ago and it's worked swimmingly ever since). I store in 5 minute increments. I have CL gig fiber internet, gig up, gig down. It keeps up just fine. Bandwidth is huge but I have no cap on bandwidth, so it works really well. I figure I only need 10gb in the cloud as the only purpose that serves is if someone steals the box or a fire happens or whatever, I shouldn't need the older footage at that point - just the footage of the "incident".

It's all about risk-reward. Worst case you lose out on some money and hopefully not data since the data should also be backed up somewhere else.
I like to store my data on laptop, desktop, NAS, 3 public clouds, 2 blockchains, and I pay one person on fiverr to write it all down in hexidecimal on looseleaf.

To be serious though it's hard to come up with an effective backup strategy that balances cost and useability and reliability.

I'm sorry I don't understand the question. I have 10 cameras running 24/7 recording, files broken into 5 minute increments. They upload immediately to PCloud. Once 10gb of files are outdated, those 10gb are moved to local storage, where I keep 1TB of data locally. I can access remotely via BI via port forwarding from anywhere in the world, just so my BI server is up and running.
