I mean, how does it prevent you from creating other accounts to get more storage? Sure you'll need 3 times as much, but still.
There are and were better services like MEGA that does offer 20GB of free encrypted storage.
Anyways, self-hosting Seafile for simple cloud and file-sync has been a way for me a long time.
