   Just ok service

   Hi

   I am a lifetime subscriber of Icedrive and would like to share my thoughts on it. I would like to point out that Icedrive offers only 10GB free space now for new accounts.

   They have a very long way to go to reach anywhere near the big guys like Onedrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and pCloud.

   There are lots of basic function issues they need to fix. Folder downloading is not possible on Icedrive, which is a huge problem. Not possible to see folder details. (When you upload lots of files, most times the progress bar hangs and stops at some random percentage. So you’re not sure if all the files are uploaded or not. And without any option to check the folder details its headache at times) When you try to rename files & folders, it won’t allow at times, may allow after you try multiple times. Encrypted file option is good. But there are some issues in that too.

   I know, they have only started this year. But with lots of technical issues I don’t recommend them to be your main cloud storage. They would require atleast one year more to stabilize every basic operations and run smoothly. It’s good for your mobile backups (photos & videos) which are not that important. But I DO NOT recommend them to store your important documents.

   I think they have to reconsider their prices too, atleast until they gain more customers. 1 TB lifetime plan on Icedrive is 150$ 2 TB plan on pCloud is 350$ which makes their 1 TB 175$ (though they do not have 1 TB plan, but still that’s what their plan value is) And they always give offers too, like I got my 2TB LT pCloud plan for 245$, which makes 1 TB just 122.5$ which is cheaper than the IceDrive. With crypto LT subscription my 1 TB pCloud plan values at 185$. Just 35$ more than Icedrive.

   I would definitely go with pCloud as my primary backup solution as they are already established cloud providers.

   Icedrive looks cool, their customer support is good and they are trying very hard to make a name in the competitive world of online storage solutions. But when you need to trust you personal and sensitive documents its always better to choose the best out there.

   🏁 Competitors: pCloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox

   👍 Pros:    Design|Easy to use|Lifetime plans available

   👎 Cons:    No folder downloading|Cannot rename files properly|Price is more for a new service|Duplication of files not prevented|Browser hangs when many files are added for uploading

• Ask HN: Roast My Landing Page

  Okay I'll bite. Some details as to how it integrates into a site would be nice. Show me some code snippets! Also, and this is tangential: how do stats get collected if a visitor browses with JS disabled? Also your logo[0] looks very similar to IceDrive's[1] logo. Links below for comparison.

• Data Encryption for your Personal Cloud Storage?

  I've used IceDrive (https://icedrive.net) and Jaybod (https://jaybod.com) for Cloud Platform. I think it's effective, but "it's really it's up to you". Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you plan to archive all your digital content?

  I am pretty simple when it comes to archiving data. I archive my blog posts and writings using archive.ph. For storing other type of content (images, etc.), I use Icedrive[0], which provides enough storage for me to store important images and other data.

• Contextual SVG fill and stroke values - new SVG, goody!

  I created the initial version of the example in Inkscape v1.3.2. It produces markup that uses context-stroke. Vector graphics editors tend to be on the leading edge when it comes to adoption of SVG markup. It is the browsers that lag more often. - Source: dev.to / 23 days ago

• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  Agreed. It would be nice if more apps would build scripting in. Krita has: https://scripting.krita.org/lessons/introduction while for Inkscape there is: https://inkscape.org/~pakin/%E2%98%85simple-inkscape-scripting. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Happy Earth Day

  All in this challenge was a journey for me, but things I really loved creating the project was understand how to set an encode SVG as background image. For this, I created my ilustrations (industries, trucks, animals, etc.) on Inkscape, I copied the SVG code and encoded using oksel.github.io/url-encoder. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• A Non-Coders Guide to Open Source Contributions

  Through the years I've learned how to use some Open Source design tools like Inkscape, GIMP and Krita. While I'm not an expert on this area, I've used these tools to create graphics for some of my personal projects, and recently the logo of Let's Talk! Open Source, that I created using Inkscape. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
