Individual files can’t exceed 10GB, and you can only upload 50GB per day. Verizon will continue to offer its group unlimited plan for $19.99 per month for up to five people, who each get their own cloud storage account.

Headline - Verizon now implements significant data caps on their new unlimited plans
3 days is too much tbh…
There’s always going to be language in the usage agreement that says “unlimited” is interpreted as being “within reason” at the discretion of Verizon to determine what’s reasonable.
They currently limit to 50gb/d AND if you cross 500GB for that month, that daily cap goes down to 10gb/d for rest of the month. So, effectively, max monthly is 500 (50gbx10d) +200 (10gbx20d) = 700gb/mo
Annualized is 8.4TiB/yr @ $168+taxes/yr which makes for a good deal…
BUT it also has a 10Gb filesize limit and no rclone support. So I gander it’s enough pain to use that it isn’t worth it for hoarding.Source:
Your total storage amount depends on your plan. For all plans, individual users can only upload up to 50 GB each day, using the Verizon Cloud desktop app after the initial backup completes.
If you:
Reach the 50 GB limit, you can’t upload additional files on that day using the Verizon Cloud desktop app.
Exceed 500 GB in a month, your 50 GB daily limit will be reduced to 10 GB each day for the rest of the month.
The maximum individual file size you can upload through the Verizon Cloud desktop or mobile app is 10 GB. Most content won’t be larger than 10 GB, but Blu-ray™ and 4K formatted videos may exceed this file size limit and won’t be supported.I got the two terabyte plan it’s permanent until well I stopped using Verizon hardly ever use it though.
Telegram …
“Unlimited” plan limited to 10GB file sizes and 50GB upload per day. Ha.
Can we mass downvote this stupid post please?
Verizon really doesn’t know what it’s getting into do they?
At 50gb a day/10gb file limit, I doubt they are worried about abuse. Theyll just find some reason to cut service furst
They have a very strange definition of “unlimited”, because those are some pretty significant “limits”… for an “unlimited” plan…
I mean for most people this should work fine but it seems they have no initial cap. So it is pretty likely it will take days or even weeks for many people to fully transition (or years when you are a data hoarder). Also I think a weekly or monthly limit would be better as it is pretty likely IMO that will occasionally need more than 50GB even as a rather casual user.
Cool. Let’s check back in in 3 months.
50GB x 30 days = 1.5 terabytes per month x 12 = 18 terabytes per year x infinite number of users = updated terms of service that states “unlimited storage BUT NOT LIKE THAT YOU UNWASHED HORDES OF HOARDERS”.
Pay Verizon for the storage of your data while they sell that data to other companies.
Encrypt ur backups homie
The question is, how does one use this service? Web app or phone app only?
So how many Months would it take me. I am seeing that’s like 10 years for me?
What’s the countdown before they kill this
