Pros:

The ease & simplicity to bring my data over from once device to another device.

Lifetime License not honored, Cold Storage Very Slow

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: I bought a lifetime license, and figured cold storage into my safety net. After a few years G-Cloud contacted me saying they are no longer honoring the lifetime license…My lifetime account that I paid for will now cost $252/year.

Pros:

Note: my review comments below are related to their Zoolz Product. I had to trim a lot of the details from my review to make it fit.

Cons:

Zoolz’s cold storage is not a good option for regular backup. It is far too slow to be worthwhile as a Backup. I tried to restore a small Word file that was saved that week and it took more than a day to retrieve. I cannot imagine how long it would take to do a full recovery of 10,000s of files.

Fantastic bit of kit

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: 8 out of 10 there should be a function to delete your current pictures once backed up like it used to have! I am missing that feature now!

Pros:

I have used this for 3 plus years it's totally worth what I pay! Even though its had glitches in the past its been fixed speedily by the g cloud team!

Cons:

Sometimes migrating to a new device is slow and often comes up with errors but when everything is in place it works perfectly

Very important soft ware

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: It helps keep track of my documents as well as important pictures that I use every day at my business and at home but mostly for my business My overall experience with this has just been very satisfactory and I've been very very pleased with this and I would recommend it to anybody and everybody especially if you're running a business because it'll keep track your back if you have to lose an important document or pictures you can always go to cloud and retrieve it because it's there and it's so easy to set up the scheduling world of download it back up everything on its own.

Pros:

The features that have been so impactful in this software has been the encryption the backup and the scheduling I would recommend it to anybody and everybody who either runs a business or runs their daily lives at home to me it's a 5 to 10 star rating

Cons:

The least thing I like about it is every once in awhile it can run a little slow.
