Interesting, anyone familiar with thrir privacy, securityrecord?
Chipping in to say that they already have a great CLI app for Linux. I have it set up to auto-backup the Vaultwarden database on my homelab. Just type
jotta-cli add <your folder>and it will be automatically synced!A GUI app is great for making it accessible to more people, though 😊
Dude, their pricing is amazing. I signed up for the free tier to try it out first.

€7.5/month for 1TB seems pretty normal to me. Compared to other GDPR-compliant cloud providers* it’s neither cheap nor expensive.
* Drime, pCloud, Inernxt etc.
yeah, those prices are epic for retail… like cheap enough to make me skeptical.
Great to see more european services.
I just checked them out. You get unlimited storage for just 12 Euros per month? There must be a downside somewhere?
“”“Unlimited”“”, but they cap your upload after 5TB.
So yeah, essentially unlimited means 5TB apparently.
This honestly seems a fair way to limit it. It doesn’t affect you if you’re just a regular person using it for occasional backups. But if you’re using it to constantly access and update data you ate incentivised to go for the more expensive plans (which imo is fair. 5tb is a lot of working data).
Plus it means the storage limit is a soft limit which allows you to clean it up in your own time.
You’re also assuming that Dropbox and co don’t do the same thing but just don’t tell you.
Thanks for the chart. I guess I’d be fine with the upload speeds up to 15 TBs, I’ll have to think about it. The slow down is pretty substantial past that mark.
“Unlimited”, until you hit a certain amount probably, but they likely only expect a small number of users to abuse this.
Upload speeds are limited after 5TB under unlimited while it doesn’t appear to be under the other tiers.
5TB transfer per month
You’re trusting someone else with your files.
I can just encrypt them before the upload.
It’s not just privacy but availability. Cloud outages are becoming more common.
I have never used Dropbox as a way to access my files live. Only as a way to auto sync between machines. Except in the mobile app, which doesn’t actually sync. I wish it did though since I too don’t want to rely on cloud services simply for access.
True, but I always have local backups anyway.
You’ve got the most important parts covered then. The whole 1, 2, 3 backup plan is hard for most people without some cloud storage. I am lucky enough to have someone who lets me run a small server (mini PC) offsite to self-host backups.
Woop woop
Any cloud storage without an S3 API is going to be a tough sell for me.
At least there is an rclone integration https://rclone.org/jottacloud/.
