SavDisk copie tes fichiers vers une clé ou un disque, sans jamais rien perdre. Un journal suit chaque fichier. Si la clé se débranche, la copie reprend où elle était. Si un fichier existe déjà, SavDisk garde les deux, il n'écrase rien. Un plantage ne laisse jamais de fichier à moitié copié. Rien ne se perd. L'entente est simple, et écrite d'avance. La fin de semaine: gratuite et illimitée, pour toujours. Parce que ton repos t'appartient. La semaine: 2 Go gratuits chaque semaine. Au-delà, rien ne bloque. Tu peux attendre samedi, qui est gratuit, et l'app reprend où elle était. Ou prendre une petite passe de 24 heures. Un seul paiement. Aucun renouvellement. Jamais. Pas d'abonnement. Aucun réseau. Aucun compte. Rien qui t'espionne. Tout reste chez toi.
