Lifetime storage won’t make sense for everyone. But for freelancers, photographers, small businesses, developers or anyone maintaining a large archive of files, paying once instead of budgeting for another recurring subscription may be a better alternative. The combination of strong encryption, cross-platform access and long-term storage makes it particularly suited to users who place a premium on privacy as well as capacity.
