Cons
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.
Con No official client for Linux
Google as of yet has a client for Linux, leaving many who use the service forced to use third party apps or the webpage.
Con Data privacy not guaranteed
Data privacy is widely known as one of Google's weaknesses. Data shared through Google is most likely matched up with the user's profile inside other Alphabet inc. subsidiaries, and, due to the business model, used commercially.
Con Terms and Conditions allow Google to own anything on Google Drive
They can create derivative works, they can perform it, they can modify it, and they can publish it at will. There are many other specific rights they take over your product. Read the Terms carefully and compare with ANY others.
Con Very unreliable
Desktop client constantly crashes.
Con No WebDAV, FTP or SFTP
It supports none of these common protocols used for access to network storage, which severely limits OS integration. You are forced to use the browser or a standalone client, which isn't possible on all systems.
Con Low bandwidth
Can't even upload all my files to this
