RapidDrive Reduces Storage Space Limit

The introduction of RapidDrive by RapidShare (BGR Media, LLC) in November 2012 struck a chord with many users.

With this tool you can integrate your RapidShare account on your computer as a separate HDD.

With the rising popularity the requirements also increase. Therefore the company simplified the navigation and management of data using RapidDrive once more. Additionally, RapidDrive will be available for free users from 20.03.2013.

At the same time, the firm decided to limit the available storage space. RapidPro customers will get to choose between 250GB or 500GB to save their data. Upon request we will also be happy to provide more storage for a fair price. Free users can use 5GB storage space. Your used storage space is displayed in your account overview.

The change is coming into effect on 20.03.2013. RapidPro will be available with two run-times: 30 days and one year – 250GB for €9.99 for 30 days and €99.99 for one year and 500GB for €19.99 for 30 days and €199.99 for one year.

Free users with more than 5GB of data in their account will be notified of the exceeded storage space limit and will get the chance to purchase the appropriate RapidPro offer or to delete files. There will be no changes for free users who are using less than 5GB storage space.

Before the change, all RapidProcustomers will have the chance to choose an account type and potentially decrease the needed storage space by deleting files. If a RapidPro customer hasn’t selected an account type by the time the change comes into effect, he will get 250GB of storage space automatically for the remaining run-time. The storage space can be upgraded to 500GB or more at any time. In this case the remaining run-time is cut in half. Before the deletion of the files which exceed the storage space limit, users will receive an email.
