Koofr is a stable and stellar European cloud storage provider with some awesome features, such as linking your gdrive, dropbox and other cloud accounts, manage them from Koofr Dashboard and copy/move stuff around. Servers are running on Hetzner Infrastructure afaik, so speeds have been rocksolid. I've been using Koofr for a couple of years now, and @vyas is a also a happy long-term Koofr user afaik

Additional facts/info from their Website:

I don't remember them running any better BF deals (not on their original website that is). Would probably come down to whether Stacksocial gets a 40% off all software coupon and whether it will be applicable to the Koofr "item" (some items can be exempted from specific coupons by the seller).

Edit: I apparently bought mine for 78$ on BF 2019. Might be worth waiting, though I don't remember it becoming that cheap the past years.

good question.

i am 99% sure they might do a 30-40%

I can wait. because i not in a hurry, the 20% can be forgotten when in need.

Update: My Deal back then seems to have been a BF offer on Stacksocial @ehab @root

the above price is a deal. So i lookforward for it.

Not sure it'll get that cheap again, but perhaps around the 90$ish

Seems quite good

The download of the test file from Hetzner took me like 10 minutes.
Uploading it to Koofr was like 7 minutes.
Download from Koofr was 3 minutes.

@root what speed do you get?

Black Friday is right around the corner, just 21 days. I can wait and take this gamble.

Yeah, should be worth waiting in this case. Anyway, I hope the thread is still helpful, for informative reasons
Also 20% isn't so rare on Stacksocial, so if it's not 40$ on BF, I guess 20% could still be in it.

Yeah, the 20% off pricing is already awesome. Especially, if you only want to grab a small 100GB plan for your photos or if you run out of free gdrive storage. Given that I paid 150€+ for pCloud 500GB, the 112$ aren't bad either.

Interesting that it support rclone

That's effectively 3 years of hetzner storagebox. Though that's with the rather sketchy assumption that hetzner doesn't more their $/TB for those years which seems implausible given storage trends

Koofr +rclone is my lifeline for secondary backups.

Mrs swears by it too.

Big users of @koofr in the 🏡

That @Ympker deal for 1 TB under 80 euros was sweet one !!

No recurring fees is also tempting, though. Plus, in my case I wouldn't need more storage.

Iirc they are using Hetzner and perhaps others. Data gets stored on at least 3 servers within EU according to https://koofr.eu/blog/posts/how-safe-are-my-files-on-koofr

Since every disk can fail, our automated system ensures each file ends up in at least three physically separate locations. We make sure that metadata and the actual content are kept on separate layers, even on completely separate servers. All our servers are located in highly secured data centers inside the European Union (which is important to us, because we can guarantee compliance with EU privacy legislation). Automation combined with skilled technicians is constantly making sure the system is operating at its best.

Time will tell. I'd assume many EU companies will have to deal with this question. If they're not going to disclose their strategy though, it's just guessing. If they made profits and invested them in the past years since launch (9 years) that should allow them to survive for a while to come up with a strategy (in case they don't have one yet). Many providers will be sinking, new ones will rise. Only time will tell.

Yeah, that's why I said I don't remember a 40% off coupon for Koofr that worked in the past 1-2 years. I bought it even longer ago that's why I got that price. I still wish @ehab and @root best of luck though. Maybe this year will be a 40% discount again.

As you can understand, we cannot comment on Stacksocial and their pricing policies for BF, but some of you may be a bit overoptimistic. In other unrelated news, we think new features coming out soon will make you even happier with our service.

Just a note that Koofr's lifetime deals don't stack. I already have a 100 GB lifetime on my account, but if I went for the 250 GB plan, I'd just have 250 GB of storage, unless I create a separate account.

Yeah, that's important to know, too. Forgot adding that to the OP. That's why I directly went with the 1TB back then instead of the 250.

Do you keep free 10GB after the upgrade to lifetime plan? Do free 10GB + 250GB stack or 10GB is gone?

I am asking this because there's requirement to open free account first in order to get lifetime plan and I also see that some local ISP clients get 5GB quota for free which add additional 5GB on the top of the already existing free 10GB for them, so they have 15GB.

Pricing page suggests you keep the 10GB free storage space on top https://koofr.eu/pricing/ as it says

Plus the additional 10 GB free space

With my lifetime deal that however wasn't the case (I only got a full 1TB):

Maybe it only applies to monthly paid plans @koofr ?

I kept the 10 GB with my lifetime deal for 110 GB total.
