Scramble Cloud, a new encrypted storage service, is selling a lifetime 20TB plan for $349.95 through StackSocial, with no recurring fee after that.
The deal's own anchor is a $1,440 regular price, which would make the discount $1,090.05, or about 76%. That list price is the seller's framing and may not reflect what anyone actually pays, so judge the offer on its own terms. Those work out to roughly $17.50 per terabyte, paid once. The listing also says prices are subject to change.
Scramble encrypts files before they leave your device, and the company says it cannot see them. You can share through private links, group shares, or Team Link, which lets people without a Scramble account open files. The service runs in a browser or as a network drive that looks like an ordinary folder on Windows, Mac, and Linux. On a phone, you get browser access only. Word and Excel files open in the browser. Existing Scramble users should note that the plan replaces their current one.
The limits matter more than the headline number. Uploads are capped at 70GB a day and 5GB per file, while downloads are unlimited. At that pace, filling 20TB (20,000GB) would take about 286 days, or roughly 9.5 months. Few people will get near that, but a large first backup will be staged over weeks rather than finished in a weekend.
Lifetime deals reverse the usual subscription bargain. You pay everything up front, and the company has to keep paying to store your files for as long as you do. In practice, "lifetime" means the lifespan of the company, and Scramble is new.
That shapes the verdict. At $349.95, the plan is a reasonable bet as a second or third copy of files you could re-upload if the service vanished. It is a poor choice as the only home for irreplaceable photos or documents.
