For as long as digital life has required offsite storage, the subscription model has quietly taxed the act of simply keeping things. Drime Secure Cloud Storage enters this familiar tension with a different proposition: a single payment of $149.99 for two terabytes of encrypted, EU-hosted storage — permanently, without the meter running. It is a bet that enough people have grown weary of renting access to their own files, and that ownership, even in the cloud, still means something.
