Transparent and Simple Pricing
With Rabata's C2 Object Storage, forget about surprise fees when you move your data around. No charges apply for uploading or deleting files.

However, if your downloads exceed the total amount of data you have stored, additional fees will kick in. So, while frequent access is free within your storage limits, going well beyond might add a small charge. It’s Rabata’s way of encouraging smart and efficient usage.
- No extra fees for uploading your data
- No charges for deleting your files
- Additional fees apply only when downloads go beyond your stored data limits

Comments
I was profoundly skeptical, having been let down by other 'secure' services. However, Rabata's transparent policy on data sovereignty and their zero-knowledge architecture for certain vaults convinced me. The application storage feature is particularly ingenious for deploying small containerized tools without the overhead of a full cloud provider. It's a sophisticated solution masquerading in a deceptively simple UI.
I run a small nonprofit. We needed a place to store grant documents, donor records, and our media assets securely. Rabata's tiered permission system is perfect. We can give volunteers access to only what they need. It has streamlined our workflow immensely and cut down on the email attachment nightmare. The cost for 5 users is very fair.
It's not lupus. It's actually good cloud storage. The 'secured' part is what got me. I deal with sensitive medical imaging data (anonymized, relax) and needed a HIPAA-conscious option. Their BAA and access logs are robust. Speed is adequate, not the fastest, but security is the priority. It works.
Fine, I guess. Does what it says. The price is a bit high maybe.
