Avoid JUSTCLOUD!

(JustCloud, MyPCBackup, NovaTech Cloud, OnlineConsumerReport, Backup
Genie, and Zip Cloud)

Justcloud.com claims that you can store your files on the cloud and
retrieve them from anywhere in the world.

The DON'T mention corrupted files, buggy software or their lousy
"support."

Here is a samplying of reviews across the net:

Terrible and slow as death: This justcloud.com is �garbage�!!!, so far
I have been using it for 38hrs and all I have uploaded is 19gis, and I
have been hitting the upload tab on the little app that is on their
site, it�s very crapy little program every 3.5 hrs it will stop
uploading. I have 2megs upload and on mediafire I upload a 995meg
video file in a little over 63min. Also emailed them twice and they
have not gotten back to me. I guess I will be doing a charge back to
get my money back.

Fail...I completely agree. First concern - any company like this that
is afraid to post their pricing online raises the hackles on the back
of my neck. Second concern, ok, sent them the email and got their
pricing structure, seems attractive, actually too good to be true
given that they have an "unlimited storage" option for about
$55/year... but decided OK, lets give the 14 day Free Trial a try.
Right. Its a free trial that doesn't let you do ANYTHING, except get
access to the pricing structure and their efforts to get a credit card
number. You can see the pretty interface, but can't test how well it
works 
at all. Oh, and don't even get me started about the interface not
giving you access to features like encryption. Really dodgy. Well in
my experience, when things before the sale concludes are this shaky,
things NEVER improve after the sale. I'm outta hear. Thanks anyways.

Justcloud: Avoid! Great 1st impressions. Nice simple interface. Then
once i joined, I realised just how slow the upload facility is. They
want you to pay more to increase the speed of upload, which wasn't
clear at the beginning. They initially answered a few of my queries,
then all went quiet and they ignored me a week into my plan. It will
take me about 4 weeks (seriously) of of constant use to upload my
files. Don't believe the hype. They promise a lot, but fail miserably.
I thought this was going to simplify my life...its just complicated
it. Really. Very annoyed.

carto - Backup speeds are so slow (as in snail-like) that the service
is useless unless you have very little to back up. Plus they annoy
with "discounts" and "upgrades" - the latter being necessary to get
proper service. Finding out the "real" prices is not easy and even
when you pay the discounted sub, you find that there are more
upgrades. As for their "anytime refund"... well be prepared to wait!!!

=====

Hopeless support - Backups seem OK but help/support is a nightmare.
Reprted a problem over 2 weeks ago and at least 10 different support
people have replied but no-one came near to helping. Basically cannot
access account/site with iPhone despite this being advertised. Looking
at their replies you can see they don't even read the question
properly. Tickets get closed before they are resolved too. I would
probably avoid this bunch as it is likely you will need help at some
point but they really have no clue about tech support. Avoid.

Popular ... With Affiliate Promoters. The only good write-ups of
justcloud are coming from JC's affiliates. And these affiliates are
very aggressive at painting justcloud as some sort of cloud storage
savior.

On YouTube, you'll find lots of suspicious videos touting the service.
One of them, by FindOnlineBackup, has a 17% thumbs-to-views ratio for
the video! That's unheard of. In fact, it's highly suspicious
marketing. May have used "Boostmynetwork.com" 

[ ... A comparable video, "Online Backup Review", has just 2.5% 
thumbs-to-views. Also, very few comments for the number of views. 
FindOnlineBackup permits only positive comments, so you know he has a 
stake in promoting it.]

JustCloud just looks like a one-man operation and a very big gamble to
entrust your personal data with. I've been burned a few times and know
the pattern of scammers. JustCloud has that ripoff vibe.

Just NO! 5 days after signing up, I have a whole 30 Gig out of 250Gig 
backed up. Alternatively on LiveDrive, I was able to upload my entire 
250GB of backup files in about 3 or 4 days. I emailed JustCloud to
cancel my account due to the uselessness of the slow uploads and they
added the "upload boost"-whatever package to my account for free. This
helped about as much as a case of hemorrhoids. Not even an extra 100
MEG since the so called "boost" 24 hours ago. I'm just going back to
LiveDrive. Even with the little annoyances I had with them, nothing
else has been worth it for me so far.

Unmittigated waste of time and money! I uploaded 135 Gigs to
Justcloud. 
As bad luck would have it, a disk crashed and I had to restore all of
my files. That process, believe it or not, took SIX WEEKS, and some
files and folders were corrupt. Support from this company is ABYSMAL,
and I ended up cancelling my account and requesting a refund from the
company and through PayPal. Here is an in-depth review:

"Not Impressed" Cons: Can't edit or remove files. Once uploaded they
will be there forever. Upload takes FOREVER!!! Days/weeks/months. I
even upgraded my internet speed to 30g from 15g & paid justcloud
$14.95 for the "upgrade" for faster uploads because I knew I was going
to be uploading a lot of data. It didn't change anything. When
justcloud is running on the computer it slows my network and anything
trying to access our wi-fi network goes turtle speed. Smart phones,
computers, PS3 etc.

Summary: Disappointed. How much did justcloud pay 
http://online-storage-service-review.toptenreviews.com/ 
to give them the #1 ranking in online storage?

=====

"Not Disclosed: Sync Space MUCH Smaller Than Backup"
Cons: What JustCloud does not disclose, and in fact actively
misrepresents if you chat with their online pre-sales reps, is that
you are given SIGNIFICANTLY less space for cross-computer file
synchronization than what you order. For example, if you order the
Home package, it gives you 75 GB of cloud backup space, but only 1.1
GB of those files can be synchronized between computers before you
must purchase additional "sync space" in the amounts of 20-40 GB for
$9.95-39.95.

For those considering this service for the backup, yes, they're cheap 
at between $0.01 and $0.07 per GB (with the 35% discount you get when 
you try to leave their sales page before ordering), but once you sign
up you're limited to a single computer for backing up. Additional
computers will cost you additional funds.

Summary: This is a VERY shady service that drastically misrepresents
the products and services for sale and tries to resolve all issues by
selling you add-ons.

=====

"JustAvoid - This service is a sales vehicle." Aggressive sales
tactics. Misleading offers, "free" service is less than 50mb which
makes it impossible to evaluate the service without upgrading. Upload
speed is extremely slow. Did I mention the overly aggressive sales
tactics and nagging messages to UPGRADE UPGRADE UPGRADE?

Summary: This service is a turn off right off the bat. I was initially
interested because the JustClous service appeared in an advertisement 
in my HostGator cPanel. It was offered as a "Free Service". What I was
getting for free was 115mb (yes, MEGAbytes) of storage. I installed
the 
JustCloud software on my PC and the very first thing it did was to nag
me to upgrade. Then, 5 minutes later I received an email saying my 
account was "flagged" because my files were not backed up. Excuse me, 
but I had not even had time to set up the backup folders. More nagging
to buy. 

JustCloud does not have the luxury of behaving in this fashion when 
other services provide GIGAbytes of storage, and is ACTUALLY free
(Google+, DropBox, Picasa, others). I have never received any nagging
emails from any of those services, because their service sells itself.
From reading the reviews here, it seems like I am not alone in my
experience with JustCloud. My advice?: Just AVOID
