Cloud Storage & File Transfer Reviews

We read every storage vendor's own inactivity policy for the number none of them put on the pricing page: how long files on a free plan survive before the vendor deletes them, and what warning you get first.

What we check here

How long do files on the free plan survive before the vendor deletes them?

Every number carries the date we read it, and anything the vendor does not state is left blank rather than estimated. The full procedure is on the Methodology.

  Filen gives five times Dropbox's free storage and deletes it after three months of inactivity instead of twelve. Free size and free lifespan move in opposite directions.
