Scramble Cloud Storage is selling a 20TB lifetime plan for $314.96 through November 8, down from a $1,440 list price, with the code CLOUD.
That works out to about $15.75 per terabyte, paid once. The seller, StackSocial, lists the saving at $1,125.04 and says the plan carries no monthly or renewal fees. It also noted that prices are subject to change.
The company says the service uses end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge design, meaning only the user can read the files, and that it complies with GDPR, the European Union's data protection law. Access comes through a web app, a desktop client, WebDAV (a standard protocol for mounting remote storage like a drive) or a command-line tool. Word and Excel files preview in the browser, file sharing is unlimited, and users can form groups with other Scramble customers. Platform updates are included.
The limits matter more than the headline capacity. Single files top out at 5GB, and uploads are capped at 70GB per day. At that pace, filling all 20TB would take more than nine months of uploading. The space is larger than the pipe that feeds it, so a slowly growing photo archive fits the plan better than a one-time dump of a big video library.
Then there is the word "lifetime". In deals like this it usually means the life of the service, not the life of the buyer. Mainstream cloud storage is sold as a recurring subscription, so a single payment shifts the risk onto the customer: the savings are real only if Scramble keeps running and keeps honoring the terms. The listing does not say what happens to a lifetime account if the company changes its plans or shuts down.
