TL;DR: Drime is a new cloud storage platform offering an 8TB lifetime subscription on sale for $279.97.
Monthly cloud storage fees are easy to ignore until you realize you've been paying for the same space year after year. Drime Secure Cloud Storage is a lifetime alternative that gives you 8TB of cloud storage for life, plus tools for sharing, organizing, and working with files. It's a whole lot better than paying for more cloud storage every month, and a lifetime subscription just went on sale for $279.97 (reg. $899).
Cloud storage that lasts for life
Drime gives you one place to keep your files, sync them across devices, and open them from desktop or mobile. The 8TB Advanced+ plan has room for documents, photos, videos, client files, project folders, backups, and large media libraries. You can also upload files of any size, so you don't have to compress a big video or split a large folder before saving it.
Sharing is more controlled than sending a basic folder link. You can create custom links, add passwords, set expiration dates, and see access stats. That's useful if you send files to clients, teammates, family members, or anyone else who needs access without getting full control. Wondering if your brother actually opened that video you sent of your cat doing a perfect backflip? Now you can know for sure.
Drime also has an encrypted vault for sensitive files. Files in the vault use end-to-end 256-bit AES and SSL/TLS encryption, and they're encrypted locally so only you can access them. Drime is hosted in Europe, GDPR compliant, and doesn't route data through the U.S.
You don't even have to download files to edit them. You can edit documents and media, leave comments, collect timestamped feedback on videos, PDFs, and images, and request e-signatures through Drime Sign. Shared workspaces help keep files, clients, and projects from getting scattered across different apps.
File versioning lets you restore an earlier version if something gets changed or overwritten. Large video streaming is included too, so you can preview big files without downloading them first.
Right now, it's only $279.97 to get a Drime 8TB Cloud Storage Lifetime Subscription.
