Infomaniak kDrive

First, it asks for a phone number, bad start but whatever. It called some bs number for validation and nothing happened. Had to try several times to eventually succeed….Then came the best part, the login and password setup. No problem, I use mSecure to generate and manage my passwords…turns out that garbage kdrive website decided to use another random password instead. Impossible to reset it, I never receive the text for reset, impossible to add a backup «real email» either. And of course, impossible to delete the account…. I am not saving any data on such unreliable poor data center, nope. Don’t get fooled people, there’s no such thing of « cheap service and we are the good people not the NSA blabla bs » I’ll stick with Microsoft longer I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Requires a phone number to create an account. No privacy company should be asking for one.

I was really optimistic that kSuite and kDrive would meet my needs. The price for 3TB of storage is very good and the auto-backup of my iphones camera roll sold me. However, with ~12,000 photos to upload, the upload process freezes constantly, even left alone for hours upload would not resume until I quit and opened the app again and a few more photos would trickle in. When I deleted some photos I didn't want from my photo gallery that were in queue the app crashed hard and would not start again until I "un-deleted"/recovered the photos from trash. I would click the icon to start the app and it would just exit instantly. I'll just have to try another way to backup my photo library, maybe with the desktop app, but I never liked creating a virtual cloud folder on desktop - especially when the cloud drive is 6 times larger than my physical disk!
