In a surprise move, Eufy has recently admitted that certain aspects of its “No Clouds” policy have caused rebellion among its customers. The popular home robot company has been under fire for its controversial decision to ban users from downloading cloud storage options like Amazon Drive, Google Photos, and Apple iCloud.
The controversy has been exacerbated by reports that some of Eufy’s home robots are not able to be updated or managed over the internet due to the ‘No Clouds’ policy. This means that users must bring their robot back to the store for repair, instead of being able to manage or download updates remotely.
In response to the criticism, Eufy has released a statement announcing that they “recognise there is a disconnect between customer demand and the current reality” and they “are committed to finding a solution that better serves our customers”.
The company also revealed that they have created a taskforce dedicated to finding ways to improve the customer experience. This taskforce will explore ways to implement the kinds of cloud storage options users have been asking for, while remaining within the scope of Eufy’s ‘No Clouds’ policy.
Eufy has promised to keep customers updated as they explore new options. The company also mentioned they are “open to new ideas and will be actively seeking feedback from our customer base”.
It’s an unexpected move from a company that was previously unwilling to change its ‘No Clouds’ policy. However, it seems the company has finally seen the light and is open to finding a solution that works for their customers.
Only time will tell how the situation develops, but this could be a major turning point for Eufy. If the taskforce is successful, Eufy could be the first home robot company to successfully implement cloud storage options within its ‘No Clouds’ policy. This could set a new standard for home robot companies that could reshape how people interact with home robots in the future.
