Highlights:
- Rakuten Drive offers free 10GB storage and unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.
- Integrates with Microsoft 365 for document viewing and editing.
- Targets both individuals and businesses with separate plans.
- Paid “PRO” version increases storage to 1TB, allows bigger file uploads, and extends transfer link expiration.
- Future integration with Rakuten’s loyalty program planned.
I am inclined to think the privacy protections on this would be awful.
For 10 GB of storage? Meh. It feels like setting this up would be a headache unless someone really needed it for something iffy. It’s so tiny.
1TB for $8/month isn’t bad. Cheaper than Google anyway. Never mind, it’s actually more expensive than Google and others. See below.
I’d rather go for something with E2EE anyway.
unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.
Looking into my crystal ball…
I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.
10 Gigabytes! That are almost two 4K movies with heavy compression.
