First of all, thank you for making this amazing program. It's very intuitive and easy to use! I have a few questions.
1. Thumbnails. Do they ever get deleted? Currently it seems they remain even after the picture is deleted. (Tested with encryption enabled)
2. Would you consider adding PayPal as payment method? A lot of people in EU don't have credit cards and Stripe doesn't give me any other option.
3. What country are you or is your company based in?

They don't get deleted at the moment. It's actually not that straightforward to delete them reliably, as there are multiple ways app can delete files (sync, mount, delete, delete version, delete using S3 API credentials).
We may implement partial deletion in the near future from the app UI, however deletion as a result of mount/sync operation is a long-term goal, as we use internally Rclone which isn't really aware of thumbnails.

Would you consider adding PayPal as payment method?
We will consider that, however we've had lots of technical troubles with PayPal so far. Once their outage affected also Stripe non-PayPal payment methods. The other time PayPal suspended our account (because of some additional verification required) without letting us know (not even a single e-mail) and we received information from our customer about PayPal error message.
A lot of people in EU don't have credit cards
Do you mean credit cards specifically? System accepts any card, including pre-paid, debit etc.
Stripe doesn't give me any other option.
What payment method do you usually use? Is that PayPal or anything else?
What country are you or is your company based in?
We're based in EU, Czech Republic. Our server infrastructure is placed in Germany.(edited)

In regards to thumbnails, it sounds like your planned partial deletion feature in the app UI would be more than sufficient to free up space from unused thumbnails. Nice.

All the cards listed by Stripe require a CVC number and that's something my card doesn't have.
What payment method do you usually use? Is that PayPal or anything else?
PayPal/AmazonPay are convenient because they can be linked to any bank account via direct withdrawal. If those aren't available, I use plain wire transfer for online-purchases. Nearly every online store in Germany offers one of these, so I don't have an incentive to get a new card.

Oh wow. That you're located in a EU country is the best news I could have hoped for and I will definitely buy a license now. It sucks that you have a hard time with PayPal as a seller, but it's not the end of the world. I'll get a friend to do the purchase for me.
Thank you for taking time to answer my questions. I'm looking forward to seeing your project grow and succeed!
