ThunderDrive.ioReviews of thunderdrive.io

I posted a more positive review earlier, but am now rescinding it. I recently found out that not all "2TB Pro Lifetime" deals offered by Thunder drive are the same. If you are buying from a third party vendor be very clear on any and all stipulations made there, as while it may claim to be a "Thunder drive Pro 2TB Lifetime Subscription" It is not the same as the "Thunder drive Pro 2TB Lifetime" deal offered on the thunder drive website. While it is true they make no claim they are the same and you can be expected to know it before you buy, I think the fact they don't let you know to be wary of the distinction is a bit sketchy. All that being said in some cases the only difference is a 2TB Download/Upload cap per month, which is not the worst, and if you plan on using it for more long term storage, if you snag a good deal you may find no problem with that. I personally got a good deal on this so while I am quite upset at how difficult it was to get a firm affirmation of the distinction, I don't mind the data cap that much and do plan to use thunder drive for a few of my long term storage needs. EDIT: I saw some of the bad reviews here and have to say some problems I have had aside, the support team has been pretty decent with most technical or account issues also I have not had problem with the response time of staff, nor gotten stuck with a bot. Finally I have gotten fairly good upload/dowload speeds.

As many of th reviews below, i am on a lifetime 2Gb sub. I hope enough money comes in to add some features badly missing at the moment. Sorting is working, kinda. But it always keep showing 'last modified' at the 'sort by', even though it isn't. I really miss 2 things at the moment: - selecting several files at once with 'shift'. - Detecting duplicate filenames in 1 folder and then not adding the duplicates. speed can always be better, i wan't to back up all my data, and doing 500-600 gB will take weeks, and then the upload freeze shouldn't happen to often. (why can't it continue with the next one?) Keep working thunderdrive, maybe we have something good in the could soon.

I bought lifetime storage through MacWorld and have been trying to be positive about the experience so far. As others have noted, it is often frustrating when the upload stops at a particular file. It is not clear why this happens as I can always upload that file individually. It is usually the folder that it is in has the problem for some reason. I am hoping that the Roadmap is accurate and that an App that is available by the end of 2019. It would be great if it worked as flawlessly as DropBox, especially if it could keep track of changes and automatically update files and folders. I like the idea of requiring 2-step authorization - hope that will come to pass. Also, for me, if I have it listed alphabetically, it list folders as a group before individual files as a group. Why is that? P.S. Definitely not fast at this point.

The service is fantastic at its price point, but I'm concerned about scalability and bug fixing when it appears to be a basic BeDrive setup, complete with the same bugs. It's difficult to really ascertain the competency of the site administrators and their ability to provide the things set out in the roadmap. It seems to work fine for the time being, but if you do end up considering a lifetime subscription, be prepared for the service to stay as it is (assuming it stays live for any considerable length of time).

My purchase: 2TB with double storage lifetime plan Country: Singapore Please check my reviews: 06/08/2019 1. Multi-thread to handle multiple tasks - to speed up most of the tasks like uploading multiple files at the same time instead of upload one by one. 2. User Interface Change Request#: i) Task Management Page - Easy to view and modify all the existing tasks instead of small windows task manager. ii) Dashboard Page - Data usage (files and folders size), overall usage, profile status blah blah blah 3. Larger file took longer time to view/stream or download. (Around few minutes to load 1GB+ video) P.S. GDrive or any other cloud services are working fine with my network speed. 7/8/2019 Thunder Drive Bugs# 1. Upload folder is not allow folder title include "." and this will break the folder structure 2. Unable to select multiple files by holding down the "Shift" key or mouse drag selection 3. The display of file upload duration is not precise with the task 4. Unable to save the user preference setting like UI layout

UX seems fine, but the trust issue is something that doesnt convince me to handover all my data to this company even though I have paid for their 2TB subscription. Their website does not have any info about the company, no phone number. When I asked this on chat, I was given a vague reply and that they are not putting up any history or any info about their company in public domain. Seems strange, though I would like to believe this. When I asked for their office address, they said they cannot reveal their address as their servers are hosted at that address and it would be a security issue. Even no phone number? Why? Tomorrow, if something happens to my data (hacked/stolen), who is responsible? Simply a website with no seeming authenticity? That's the reason why I canceled my upload and deleted my files from their servers until they win my (and everybody's) trust. EDIT: The address that I have been asked to look at in the "Privacy Policy" (strange place to find the only address on the website) supposedly belongs to a house address. A simple zillow search can give this information. The phone number seems to be a home phone number according to the internet. Is this true? Like I said above, I was told by their rep that they cannot give their address because their servers are located at that address. So does this mean their servers are located in a residential building? ??? Doesn't seem to connect the dots well ???

Thunderdrive.io is working great so far. Super skeptical because there are literally not a lot of reviews on it. Overall, there are 2 concerns that I have with it: 1. No 2 step authentication when you log in. People can easily hack into your thunderdrive account. Without 2 step authentication, I am feeling *very* unsafe with using thunderdrive. I had a PayPal before and I wasn't using 2 step authentication, someone hacked into my PayPal and ever since that, I have been using 2 step authentication for literally everything. It is so easy for people to hack your account if you don't have 2 step authentication. 2. Thunderdrive feels like a gamble because it is so new and that it could at the end of the day be a scam or they could permanently shutdown their services at any time. Only time will tell if thunderdrive plans to be a legit cloud storage or if they will run off with all our money. I hope thunderdrive adds in 2 step authentication and proves itself to be a safe reliable cloud storage. I read a comment on YouTube that the thunderdrive.io website is on sale (I am not sure if this is true), and also note, they only bought about a year's worth of website domain time which makes me feel skeptical that they won't renew when the time comes. I am not sure about thunderdrive but we will see what happens with it in the future. I will be super happy if I do end up getting 2 TB of lifetime storage.

Now i am a Lifetime user of Thunder drive (2TB) , everything looks fine but one flaw is that we can upload 5GB file only.. plz upgrade it to atleast 10 GB.
