It would be nice if they had a definition section in their FAQ. What the heck is a "tresor"? The free plan you get only 10 of them, the paid plans , unlimited.

I wonder about all of these cloud storage/sharing sites. Will they all be able to survive? How are they making money? Most offer free data storage plans, if people just use the free part, they aren't making any money and are set up to fail.

If they go dark, will they let customers know or will they just pull the plug, taking customer data with them?

true that. I wonder about so many of these ubberweb sites. Fbook, Twatter …… can't see the Monetization in any of them. They mostly sell "air".

I guess you could sell clean fresh air on a smoggy Summer day in Beijing!

When I was in London (many moons ago) you could buy a wiff of fresh air (oxygen). The vendor said business was really brisk on a smoggy day.

Tresor is German for safe or vault.

Interesting. I just signed up for Copy. Got 20GB free. If I wanted to sync my entire HD, I could use 400GB. So I imagine there are people who start with a free service, and then upgrade to paid space, because they like the convenience and backup security. I expect that's what these Cloud companies are banking on to make them money.

My daughter when she was finishing up her dissertation bought space on Dropbox, because the 2 free GB were not enough.

Tresorit is offering $25k if you can hack it:

If I knew how, I'd try.

Thanks for posting.

5GB to start for free, 3GB for each referral.

And they claim to be secure.

Dropbox has a memory leak problem with some modern Macs. I'm going to try this with my son, who has the problem on his Mac (and manifests as terrible battery life).
