ThunderDrive.ioReviews of thunderdrive.io

Every picture I try to upload that didn't come from a cell phone fails. WTH?

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.

I had seen a promotion on a website telling about a 2TB lifetime cloud solution for 50$ and thought it was a bargain. I'm a professional videographer and I thought it would be a great way to upload my footage directly on the cloud and share a private link with my clients. None of this works. The upload speed is laughable. Makes you wonder what century you're in. Nothing works the way it is supposed to. The support service is terrible and conveniently won't answer any of my questions concerning refund, telling me upload speed will eventually be better (yeah,right) Don't make my mistake, please choose a proper cloud service !

I bought 2TB. BUT. I have a feeling that these new cloud storage services (and Thunder drive is not the only one) are a scam. Launch an under performing service with a Wow deal giving lifetime storage of say 2TB for a one time fee of $70 or so... Big uptake... Especially as it's advertised with a kick back through every tech news site out there... Then it's too slow for anyone to upload their 2TB,so they never have to pay for the storage they're selling... In due course shut down. A good cash result for whoever set it up.

Looks like I fell for a new scam from a news source I trusted: iDrop news. I not only paid for the 2TB lifetime storage but also double the storage of additional 2TB. However, thuderdrive.io does not show the double storage. I also noticed that there is no ios app available that I could use to easily backup my ios devices. I also tried backup using Norton which is not working due to Windows 10 drive mapping issues. There is no wiki or self support online. How can a service like this even be launched and continue to rip off people. This so called service is the latest online scam now evidently endorsed by supposedly reputed sites like iDrop news. Absolutely terrible! Do not fall for this storage backup “service” and throw away your money! So, after this review I got the attention of thunderdrive.io where they promptly pointed out that the 4TB storage area has magically been made available. That’s great. But the problem of a lack of suitable methods to upload data from iOS and Windows remain(?). Last night, I tried to upload a 200MB video clip from my iPhone using the app.thindercloud.io link. It got stuck just afte it started and never finished. I tried this five times and even after I left it alone for a few hours! I cannot upload anything. I don’t know if that’s because it’s a QoS issue or there is really not the amount of storage being claimed. I cannot backup anything from Windows or iOS! What is this storage good for. All the claim about high bandwidth and availability is simply untrue. At this point I want my money back. Is anyone listening?

Bought 2TB and already regretting it. Thunderdrive should have prepared first before launching the lifetime offer. Website is not ready at all. Its says incorrect password when login from the desktop and takes the same password in mobile. While uploading the files if one doesnt get uploaded or get stuck in a queue all the rest are not uploaded. The interface is copied from Google drive. Lot of work needs to be done. I am afraid whether my data is safe or not or whether they will discontinue the website forever.

I will not downgrade your rating like others, I still feel ThunderDrive in beta stage going through many bug fix and addition of features. While going through user Interface I felt like I am using Google Drive. You should have come out in the market with Beta tag like Google did till the time entire solution become stable. I bought 2 TB lifetime Subscription considering it as an investment for 2020. All you need to do is to speed up the development.

Initially I had my doubts but after using the product for a few days, I will say I am suitably impressed and satisfied. I've not yet had a single failure. All files have uploaded and downloaded without issues. File folders are easy to create and manage. Need I go on? With the future addition of mobile apps, this has the potential of being at par with the big boys. Btw, I bought 10TB, as I have extensive storage requirements.
