This is a first-hand account of my interaction with justcloud.com

I spent over $360 and did not back up a single file. Instead, I closed my account.

Page 2: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

It all seems friendly and harmless enough at first glance so I created a free account.

I’m then directed to a page asking me to download their app. Nothing funny going on here either

Wait what? 15MB? I’ll use that up with just 2 songs! That’s hardly a convincing trial but let’s download it anyway.

Wait what? 15MB? I’ll use that up with just 2 songs! That’s hardly a convincing trial but let’s download it anyway.

So I download and install the app

Page 4: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

And the fun begins. My very first marketing pop-up let’s call it: marketing offer 1

I click to go claim my free 1GB

Page 5: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

This guy is giving me another offer for a discountmarketing offer 2

But instead of getting my 1 free Gig, I get this

This this is telling me I haven’t installed the app. Yes I did Another pop-up asking me to invite friendsI haven’t even backed up a file yet! Do you really think I’m going to invite my friends? marketing offer 3

Page 6: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

So I launch the app and guess what?

Already? I haven’t even used my extraordinarily massive 15MB yet!

My free trail expired in under 14 minutes, I’m sure they said 14 days? Oh well

At this point I probably should have just walked away buy sadly, I clicked this button!

Really? ‘Today Only’? Lucky me! I checked, they lied, it’s the same everydaymarketing offer 4

marketing offer 5

I select ‘No Thanks’. I just want to check them out first

Which took me back to the website

Here it is see..

Okay, now what? I close the window...

Here it is see..

I try to upload a file using the browserinstead of the app just to see what happens

Page 10: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

Well, this is what happens!

Just then, in the top right corner of my desktop, I get this little gemmarketing offer 6

But my desktop application has expired

What’s the point? You’re supposed to be a cloud storage solution and you can’t handle a 10MB file?

Page 11: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

Meanwhile, back at the dashboard...

And this guy is back with another offer. So I click to find out moremarketing offer 7

I apparently still haven’t installed their app

Page 12: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

Guess what? Another SPECIAL. Lucky Me! (I checked, EVERY hour has the same special next hour discount)marketing offer 8

What? UNLIMITED ONLINE STORAGE ? That sounds just too good to be true.

The English definition of UNLIMITED is:“not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent”

Justcloud seems to think it means whatever they decide it to mean...

Page 13: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

And you thought that UNLIMITED ONLINE STORAGE actually meant UNLIMITED ONLINE STORAGE!

Right, so it’s not really “UNLIMITED ONLINE STORAGE” so I choose the cheapest plan instead...

Page 14: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

I also start taking screen shots because I’m beginning to think this is either a joke or a scam and I decide to join up and subscribe for a 1 Month Plan I did not upgrade, nor did I agree to being billed every

month. I selected 1 month storage and even paid a premium because I only selected 1 month storage.

Does that mean I should expect an interrupted service if I don’t upgrade?

Page 15: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

And then along came this...

I checked, they lied again , it’s not “today only”marketing offer 9

So I selected all the additional features not included in the plan to see what the plan would actually cost

And then clicked this button

Page 16: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

I was instantly charged without any summary page or confirmation page or marketing offer saying I might want to consider a business plan.

So far I have received 9 marketing offers. When I actually need one, nothing, just an immediate credit card deduction.

Total bill $360.50

I’ve since issued a cancellation request to test their claim of “Money Back Guarantee”

No response yet

Page 17: The TRUTH about  justcloud.com revealed

So, this was my experience with justcloud.com

I was looking for a robust cloud-based storage solution and instead I got a barrage of special offers and an app that didn’t work. These guys are all about the money, you’re better off with Google Drive or Amazon.

JUST WALK AWAY!
