Cons
Con Strictest code of conduct
Terms of Service forbid any kind of nudity, or that incites, advocates, or expresses pornography or racism among other things.
Con Becomes slower when it picks up a "Linux" user-agent
This may be intentional by Microsoft to force OneDrive users to use Windows. When OneDrive picks up a "Linux" user-agent it becomes slow whereas when from the same computer and browser it picks up a "Windows" user-agent it becomes considerably faster.
Con Their contact support is not good
I emailed them for issue but not any reply
Con you can only connect 2 clouds at one time untill professional plan
If you want to connect other clouds then you must disconnect any of one of two
Con I think price is high as compared to others clouds
4$ /month only for 50 GB
8 $ /month for 500GB
13 $/month for 1TB
Con They doesn't develop any app on any platform it is fully web based
Con site is sometimes buggy or unstable.If you refresh then problem is solve
Con It require download from fast servers
If your download files that have limitation for example if website give only 100kbps speed then rethink not download that file by pasting link.
but You can download then upload that file to rethink
Con I personally see it download 500 mb file but not download 1GB file if you download file by create buttom from anywhere from web
Con You can't see or create google docs,excel preview directly
If you want to see or create google docs or excel preview then you must integrate google drive with rethink to do so.
