Backify Removes Free accounts a month after starting them

Original news item: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3110553

Backify just sent me an email saying all free accounts will be closed as of November 22nd.

I only backed up part of my data on there with the free account and the upload speed was horrible (barely 5kbps). Had I actually uploaded 512GB of data, it wouldn't have finished before they closed my account...

What a waste.
