Backify no More Offering 512GB Online Backup for Free

Backify Internet Ltd., the cloud storage start-up that offers 512GB of free space for backups, has decided to stop offering free accounts soon.

However the customers who have already singed up for free accounts will continue to enjoy the free service for at least one year, maybe more. The company has already signed up 50,000 free users in 4 days since its launch.

A spokesman for the company said that the response Backify got was tremendous and totally unexpected. Despite a few glitches in the website on the first day of launch, 50,000 users have already signed up for a free account and hundreds have upgraded to paid accounts. Commenting on some blogs which were trying to spread FUD about the company, he said: "Just wait and watch, they will eat their own words pretty soon."

He further said that the company had originally decided to offer the free accounts all through out the first month after launch. But with the huge response, the company has to cut short the offer.
