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.
