Ratings and reviews

There's a lot to like here with some limitations. This great to browse and download files from your kDrive. But it's limited with editing files and offline sync. I have a big folder full of plain text files I use as notes. While I can store them for offline use, I'd have to select that option for every single file. You can't select a folder for offline. Also, I saw no way to edit a simple text file so the changes sync to kDrive.

It's a good backup service, not gonna lie. The first biggest issues is that at first subscription it doesn't cost you a lot, but after the first year you pay 50% more, which is not really convenient for a college student (this issue is a normality for these type of services, which is not really fair, it would be better if you keep the prices the same). The second issue is that lately, the backup sync is not working good, you got to pause and unpause, otherwise you might lose documents.

Another one moving from US TECH and Google. I can't justify staying with Google anymore - it's not even good, their AI sucks, they got lazy and greedy - and charge me data for it. I've paid for myksuite+ and ksuite standard for my domain emails less than £40/yr - web app is a bit daunting with a many options - but individual apps are straight forward, no worse than gdrive, cheap and none U.S. Had trouble extracting Google takeout but not too hard to unzip first then upload.
