I bought a lifetime license, and figured cold storage into my safety net. After a few years G-Cloud contacted me saying they are no longer honoring the lifetime license…My lifetime account that I paid for will now cost $252/year.

Pros

Note: my review comments below are related to their Zoolz Product. I had to trim a lot of the details from my review to make it fit.

Cons

Zoolz’s cold storage is not a good option for regular backup. It is far too slow to be worthwhile as a Backup. I tried to restore a small Word file that was saved that week and it took more than a day to retrieve. I cannot imagine how long it would take to do a full recovery of 10,000s of files.

Reasons for choosing G Cloud

I thought Cold Storage would be an affordable way to have redundancy backups on line--- I was wrong. They stopped honoring the Lifetime Service I paid for.

One of the first apps I install on any new phone. Ensures that what doesn't get transferred by the OS ends up on the phone, so I'm not looking for missing files.

Pros

Easy, scheduled backups of my data to a cloud account. Easy and affordable to add more storage as needed.

Cons

Permissions management could be a bit more intuitive, but it's not a deal breaker
