### 4/5 — Convenient and easy to use

*2019-09-29*

I've been using ZipCloud for a few years and I find it very convenient and easy to use. 
- At under AUD$10/month it's good value
- Scheduled backups of my PC ensure that I always have a recent copy, and multiple previous copies, of all my documents and photos. I'd like to have my videos backed up as well, but I'm not prepared to pay the premium for that.
- I love the Sync Folder that allows me to keep my most important documents where I can easily access them from my phone any time and anywhere. When travelling, I keep copies of my travel documents etc here so I can always access a copy if the hard copies are lost/stolen
- The browser portal allows me to access a recent backup of any of the documents on my PC from anywhere. It's a bit clunky but very convenient if I desperately need something when I'm not at home
- The biggest problem I regularly have is that the app on my PC seems to always tell me that I've run out of space, or my account has expired, around the time when the auto-renewal is scheduled to occur. I've learned to ignore this and try again later, but it means that my PC is sometimes unable to back itself up on schedule.
- One minor annoyance is that the browser portal shows the time stamp of all my backed up files in the timezone of the server which is somewhere in the USA. This means that I need to mentally convert to my local timezone (is that +16 or +14 hours) when I want to restore a file from a specific time

Overall this is a great app and one of the best purchases I've made for peace of mind regarding the safety of my data.

### 1/5 — RIP OFF STOP NOW!!!

*2017-10-14, version 1.3.11*

I purchased the "unlimited" plan and various other optional enhancements like rapid video upload, etc.  What I found was complete misrepresentation and a plan to keep up charging for more space, denying video uploads (amateur GoPro footage) due to "we said unlimited but what we meant was unlimited based on what average people using the app upload."  WHAT???  It's a ripoff company, provides no avenue to cancel the account on the app, and it charges you for every nickel and dime option.  I'm trying to stop it now but they make it very difficult.   WHAT IS UNLIMITED????  You'd be best to stop right now and seek a reputable company.  Seek other options my friends.

### 1/5 — Now I Understand why This is Worthless

*2016-11-03, version 1.3.11*

Pretty sneaky. The same company has an app called ZipCloud and one called JustCloud. I cancelled ZipCloud last year and thought JustCloud was unrelated. But they commingled the two so my supposed JustCloud log in sends me to ZipCloud. And they are double billing me. I think I'll drop in the next time I visit my sister who lives in the UK.

### 1/5 — THEY STOLE MY INFO (idk if they actually did it)

*2016-08-08, version 1.3.11*

But I Have Those Devices "NAMED THAT!"

Idk If "The Developers" Stole It?!?!

(To See Those Devices Look On Preview Page 1)

Whatever you do "DONT GET THIS APP AT ALL AND I MEAN IT!!!"

### 1/5 — Waste of my time.

*2016-05-05, version 1.3.11*

Along with all the people who reviewed before me- I agree with all of it. Only 15mb for free, annual fees, slow uploads, glitches all over the place.... Not worth it.
Also- when I went to delete my account, they basically got down on their knees and begged to keep me! (Not a bad thing, kindof cute but a bit pathetic from a business standpoint) 
I'll try to add my screenshot of this to my review

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2015-08-04*

Although this app does what it claims, it is very unstable. Any other activity on the iPad or over the Internet interrupts the backup, despite the purported ability to run in the background. The network connection is not robust and drops frequently. New settings are not maintained after a logout. Support is timely and polite, but not able to solve problems or answer questions .
Costly upgrades do not work as advertised or may not be applied. Stuck with it for now but looking for alternative.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent Charges Persist

*2015-07-10, version 1.3.11*

Canceled this terrible and expensive service in January 2015. Just found they have resumed recurring billing of my paypal account. I am furious.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2015-03-27, version 1.3.11*

This cloud storage is archaic and clumsy. It won't even play videos I've put into the cloud, it just keeps loading and then nothing. I am looking for an alternative.

### 1/5 — Don't use!

*2014-12-15, version 1.3.11*

I don't even know where they got my email but they just kept sending me emails trying to lecture me about backing up my files and push me to subscribe to their services. When I click "unsubscribe" within the email they sent me, instead of taking me to a page to unsubscribe, it directly take me to sigh up with their services. It's totally a scam.

### 1/5 — Unlimited storage ran out

*2014-09-28*

I had enjoyed using zip cloud and recommended it to many others until i got an error message that I was out of space. I upgraded to an UNLIMITED space subscription and recently got a message to upgrade my account as I was out of space!
I contacted support and was told that I had used too much space as I was using more than others on the unlimited plan.
Do not purchase this unless you have small amounts of data to backup.
