Storing files in the cloud has skyrocketed in recent years. Thanks to the fast internet connections we have in the Netherlands, online files can be opened from Finder as if they were stored locally on your Mac. Internxt is a cloud service from Spain that has been offering online storage at very competitive prices since 2020.
At Internxt you can opt for a monthly/annual subscription or take out a lifetime plan. In that case, you pay a one-time amount, after which you can use the cloud storage for life. Internxt gives temporarily discount on various subscriptions. Internxt also offers one free cloud storage with all functionality and a storage of 10 GB, very interesting to try out.
Why use online storage?
With cloud storage, you can access your files from anywhere with an internet connection, as long as you have the correct login credentials. This allows you, for example, to work on files on the go and share them with others.
Over the years, people have collected a lot of data, such as photos, music, documents, etc. Many of these files are on the hard disk or SSD of a Mac or computer. Only a limited number of files are used regularly. Many files are not opened monthly or even annually, think of the holiday photos from a few years ago. In that case, it is smart to move the files to a cloud storage such as Internxt. This means that the files no longer take up space on your hard drive/SSD and if it fails, you will always have the data safely in the cloud.
Internxt is multi-platform
Internxt has a web app, desktop app (linux, macOS, Windows) and apps for both iOS and Android. Files you upload to the cloud service are also immediately available on all your other devices. There is also a synchronization option that allows you to automatically synchronize certain folders on your Mac in the background, so you always have a backup.
Internxt’s apps have been developed in such a way that anyone can get started right away. No further knowledge is required to use it.
Decentralized cloud storage
Internxt uses decentralized cloud storage in the background. This means that when uploading files to the Internxt servers, the file is encrypted with AES-256 encryption and distributed across multiple servers. A file that is uploaded is not saved as a single file anywhere. The file is split into multiple encrypted pieces and stored on different servers. If a server is hacked, the stored data is still safe because it is simply incomplete.
Try Internxt cloud storage for free
You can use and try the Internxt cloud storage for free. When you create an account you immediately receive 2 GB of storage space. You can expand this up to 10 GB for free by performing a few simple tasks. This includes uploading your first file, installing the Mac app, sharing a file and inviting friends.
Unlike other cloud services, you can use all features of Internxt with a free account. You get up to 10 GB of free cloud storage on an unlimited number of devices, you can use the password and virus scanner tool and you get access to online support.
Temporary 50% discount on lifetime Internxt cloud storage
Internxt temporarily offers a 50% discount on all life-time plans*. This allows you to purchase 2TB lifetime cloud storage for €149.00 (offer duration unknown).
For comparison, for 2 TB of cloud storage with Apple iCloud or Dropbox you pay € 9.99 per month. The Internxt cloud storage is therefore much cheaper than iCloud and Dropbox.
