I bought a Lima Original when it was released from Kickstarter, and upgraded to the Ultra a few months ago. Speed is phenomenal for transfer on the Ultra! It took me less than an hour to transfer 250G of data. I can’t find anything better on the market, and here is why:
I was tired of paying for a Cloud service.
I used the Clouds, but I found it limiting regarding the storage space you’re getting. Also, you have to pay for it. I think Lima’s cost is very reasonable for a one time fee. No subscriptions needed. And it was extremely easy to set up on my two devices: a Mac Book pro and an iPhone.
I love having immediate backup.
I shoot photos and videos as a hobby, and having immediate backup is key for me. I usually shoot videos with the iPhone, and photos with a camera. As soon as I connect to the wifi, photos and videos are transferred to Lima and automatically backed up, which I found very reassuring (I chose not to enable files transfer on cellular data).
I travel without thinking logistic.
My files are already with me! When I go on vacations, I take my laptop and I can access my movie library, or any other files I would need. I work directly on files that are stored on Lima. That’s convenient! I sleep on music as well, and my entire music library is at my fingertips.
It frees space on my smartphone.
I can shoot as many videos as I need to without fearing storage shortage. I just love having this freedom: I feel like I have control over things and unlimited possibilities.
To sum up, I have control over my data.
I do not depend on a Cloud service, and I control what’s with me. And it’s great for non-tech people: a 3 steps installation that are very smooth.
