Ya the “lifetime of the service” is always mentioned (you’re still SOL if a service ends and you’ve been paying monthly, you just would have massively overpaid in the meantime); and I agree when its a large premium for a “lifetime”. But in this case considering it would only need to stay viable for 13 months in order to get your ROI on 35 euro invested compared to a monthly subscription (GDrive is $4 CAD/month for 200GB) that is also known for randomly deleting your data/accounts without warning (GDrive), I think its worth the risk. If in 5 years they go under you can always migrate to another service and you saved 5 years - 13 months of monthly payments. And ofc basic data storage practices still should be followed. Min 3 copies, one offsite.
Interesting about the SAF functionality and worth noting for anyone wanting it for that use; I wonder if its on their roadmap at all. As I said, I’m using this as an offsite backup so should work fine for that.
As an aside do you have a recommendation for solid SAF functionality with Keepass (esp on linux)? I currently use gdrive linked through gnome accounts in order to sync my keepass file across all my devices since I haven’t found a better option but KeepassXC constantly overwrites the file with temp files (randomly generated string file names) which causes errors when I try to open it on KeepassDX on my phone since the database file is no longer there but replaced with a temp file. Not sure if its due to Gdrive constantly revoking file manager permissions or what.
