This is really poor. Really poor policy by mediamax/now thelinkup. I am a free service user and looking at the customer's reply who have been paying for the service, I really do not see any reason to continue with MediaMax. They asked free customers to move their 25Gb files else will be deleted unless subscribed to their paid service within a week!
Free service is really a hoax! 25Gb Free Storage! Yeah! That is true. But when you get a notice that says within few days for free users your files (i.E. 25Gb) will be soon deleted, you try to download them and backup. And then you find the real reason for providing 25Gb free storage. MediaMax allows to download only 10mb size files (i.E. 0.0390625 percent of 25gb). Remaining files with size 10 mb, forget them. Either delete them or just keep them hosted so MediaMax is taxed for hosting those and then they delete those files at the end of their always extending deadline.
Why did they create such a panic in users?
Even if you are a less than dozen people company, you could really do better than this. If the brains behind these company are working behind time and can't estimate future expansion, show them the door and hire new, skilled people.
Now I am so discouraged with the free service that thinking of a paid service with new TLU (thelinkup) is impossibility. If I am not assured of my files, if the company gives a one week notice to move files or else they will be deleted, and even they now upgrade and provide more up/download limits, I am not going to continue to use mediamax or thelinkup.
Thanks to mediamax, I have now deleted my all files 10mb because I was unable to download them unless I upgrade subscription, which many people on mediamax user blogs will tell that it is not a wise option.
