- Compressionx promises better compression and greener storage, but locks the basic features behind monthly costs
- Allegations of intelligent algorithms and 65% compression remain not verified and require independent tests
- The software imitates the best file managers but adds a price where others are free
A British startup indicates that it has carried out a breakthrough in data compression with a new tool which, according to him, can perform up to 65% of loss -free file reduction.
Compressionx is presented as an alternative to the best file compression tools on the market. It is also marketed both both concerned with the environment and adapted to businesses.
But although the promise is daring, the entry price can dissuade occasional users and the distinctive compressing -in -law of compressionx must be demonstrated under a more in -depth examination.
Daring claims and greener terrain
Compressionx is marketed not only as performance upgrading, but also in response to the growing environmental impact of data storage.
Developers say that it works differently from traditional tools using an “intelligent adaptive algorithm” rather than a generic compression routine.
With projections connecting data centers to a potential 8% share of global carbon emissions by 2030, the software is positioned as a solution that can help organizations reduce their digital footprint.
The startup highlights several features intended to distinguish Compressionx, including archiving compliant with the GDPR, XCHACHA20 encryption and compatibility with .zip and .7Z formats.
Although this may suggest that it is one of the best file managers to manage compressed content, many of these capacities are already common in mature tools such as Winzip, 7-Zip and Peazip.
The company also claims that its adaptive algorithm can surpass older systems by dissecting file structures more intelligently.
But without benchmarks evaluated by peers or external validation, it is not clear if this increase in performance is significant or that brilliant marketing.
Compressionx promises transparent use, even for non -technical users, and praises integration with hardware storage and online services.
He suggests that it could be useful for people who use popular cloud storage platforms, claiming to help save space and move important files more easily.
Although this assertion, like others, is based on the assumption that users will pass free and open source alternatives to a paid and not proven solution without hesitation.
Despite ecological rhetoric, only the most basic features are available for free, and it only offers up to 25 GB of compression per month.
Users who want unlimited compression and professional quality features must pay £ 3.99 per month per user, billed each year, a detail that places this green promise firmly behind a paid wall.
Whether the software really offers advanced compression or reconditioning existing solutions with a new brand image is something that only long -term use and independent tests will confirm.
