IBM Connections Files on Cloud with 1TB storage
Tags :files sharing cloud
IBM has launched IBM Connections Files on Cloud with 1TB of space to directly compete with the other file hosting providers. I first talked about this on Feb 9th and was waiting on more confirmed details. Here is the announced pricing model for IBM Connections Files on Cloud.
As you can see, IBM is going after this market hoping to wrap their IBM Connections on Cloud services around it as the upsell. I will say that many of the other services miss this opportunity to offer additional services (I hate using the word social) that engage the customer more and keep them in the system.
Services like Copy.com can already start you with 15GB free (using my link get 15GB today), And it always remains free. What IBM does not offer is any small free amount like every other service. There is a 60 day free trial but that is not enough to keep users hooked into the system. Everyone likes that free space and you end up paying that provider a few dollars each year when you need more. Having no entry point model confuses me some if you want to directly compete.
Will you test out the service? Start a trial? Or stay with something that gives free space as I linked above? I mean 15GB is a heck of a lot of free shared space but I already bought more.
