I understand. I have a paid Dropbox and GDrive accounts which I use for important data.

Having a 2 TB storage that I can use to share whatever I want with others or even across my devices is pretty useful for those cases.

I have downloaded data there since I created my account that still is safe and available after almost 5 years.




GP's point is that it's not safe, without redundancy when the drive on your seedbox eventually dies - everything on it is lost.


Sure, that's why I only use it for temporary situations (e.g. sharing a file with another device/person) and not for long-term data storage solution.


Then I'm misunderstanding something, as you were talking about data that's been on there for 5 years.


I am just too lazy to delete it and used that as an example that the service has a good reliability record.
