What are your thoughts on filen? I don't seem to be able to find a community for them here, but it seems like a pretty solid up and coming company for secure cloud storage options.

I've never seen anyone say they're dissatisfied. I've seen claims that lifetime plans are a bad business model and I've seen one of the owners say they are careful to limit them. Their apps suck but I use them as an off site archive for my most precious data and while I wouldn't let them be my only backup they have yet to cause me issues in several years.

I actually emailed their support asking about the lifetime licensing, and they did mention they calculate/ limit the lifetime licenses to be sustainable. I hope they are able to succeed and be around for a while with their price modeling. Maybe lifetime won't be for sale for much longer
