I've seen it though. I was working on a TV show and was about to delete my copy of the footage as I was finished with that episode and got a call from the producer. Both his copies of the footage went poof! The main copy and the backup copy drives both got corrupted somehow. He freaked out but fortunately I and the editor had copies of the footage.

I started backup cloud when my local HD got corrupted (a thing that - fortunately - never happened again in the last 8 years), I've ran CHKDSK in Windows and it deleted the corrupted videos; and since at the time I had a sync software and did not noticed the deletion, they were erased at the external drive too.

I'm an amateur and nothing REALLY important was lost, but I miss some concert footage - specially three from a amazing Sharon Jones concert.

Now the cloud and external HD backup never delete files.

I'm not even talking about data storage as such, which you guys are referring to. Though it's another dubious move, that they simply delete all your videos which you have uploaded under a paid account, if you don't renew your paid membership.

I've been paying for the "Pro" plan for the past ten years. With the 'Review' video function that Frame.io copied from them, it's been a great collaboration tool for working with clients. I still have all of my search functionality and can click on usernames to see their bios and highlighted videos.

The one thing I don't love but I can't say that I'm surprised by is that I now have a 1TB limit on my total storage. If I want 5TB, it's double the price. I've written to them asking if they could give us a "finalize video" button that will purge all of the drafts that it is currently saving -- I don't need them after delivering a video. This would allow me to bring my storage needs way down. They said that they would look into it.

It doesn't seem like the platform is flourishing, but I haven't looked into switching because it serves my needs and I have a couple hundred videos uploaded (all are backed up locally).
