Sick of storage subscriptions? This lifetime IceDrive Black Friday sale might give everything you need
Secure your storage for a lifetime
If you're like me, and are sick of being bombarded with 'low disk space' notifications that seem to plague your devices from even the best cloud storage plans - then you might be considering biting the bullet to get a lifetime storage plan.
Well, that blow could be softened pretty significantly with the Black Friday & Cyber Monday special deal from IceDrive.
There's a few different plans on offer, depending on how much storage you need. For most people, the Pro I plan will offer a huge 1TB of storage for just $199 down from $398 - including a year's worth of IceVPN and Client-side encryption.
If you're a cinephile, a photographer, or a video editor - you might be concerned that 1TB may not be enough - but don't worry, IceDrive has two more plans on offer. For Black Friday, the Pro III comes with the same features as the previous plan, but also 3TB of storage for just $349 - that's around a million iPhone photos!
Last up, there's the Pro V plan, where a one-time payment of just $599 will get you 5TB of storage for life.
One thing to note, is that IceDrive is client-side encrypted, which is not quite the gold standard for security. We look for end-to-end encryption for those who are particularly security-conscious, so if you have hoards of sensitive data to protect, would prefer a subscription service, or you'd just like to try out a few plans before you commit to one, we have a Black Friday cloud storage deal hub, which we will keep updating as the day grows closer.
