ThunderDrive is a cloud storage service that offers some amazing prices but not much in the way of features.
ThunderDrive is a cloud storage service that focuses on making it easy to store and share your files from any device in a secure manner. It’s a relative newcomer to the market, going up against some of the best cloud storage providers in the business. In this ThunderDrive evaluation, we find out how well the service compares to the competition, as we look at its pricing, features, support, and how it works. ThunderDrive is available in two plans, Pro and Personal, which can be purchased as an annual subscription or for a lifetime. The annual plans, paid in a lump sum each year, are $5/month or $10/month. Lifetime plans are $600 or $1200. The Personal plan comes with 500 GB of space and a bandwidth of 2 TB; the Pro plan offers 2 TB of space and bandwidth. Both plans include 30-day trash recovery. From looking at the home page of the ThunderDrive website, it seems that pricing is straightforward. The lifetime plans are quite a lot of money to pay up-front, but if you plan on having an account for a long time, the pricing might seem attractive. But when you click on the Get Started button for one of the lifetime plans, things get a bit strange. For example, after choosing the Personal plan, on the next page, the price has been reduced to just $29! And then, on the next page, you can add a further 2 TB of storage for $39. So in other words, you can get 4 TB of storage for a lifetime for just $68. For some, this may seem like an absolute steal and cause them to dive headlong into a purchase. For us, it started ringing alarm bells, as it didn’t seem like the way a reputable business would go about things. So let’s assume you’re one of those not put off by the way prices drop so dramatically, and you are still interested to know how ThunderDrive works. Unfortunately, there’s no free trial or demo for you to test it out before purchasing.
