So far the info I'm seeing is from remarkable site and the way they word it doesnt answer the real question (like they're trying to hide something). I dont think I'll keep it if I cant use it without paying a monthly fee. Basically I need to be able to transfer files (both directions) in a couple different ways. I need to be able to get files to and from Google drive for cloud storage purposes and would be nice If i could ultimately get files into a git repo on gitlab (even if it means more than one step to get it there). Also it would be nice if i could connect via ssh through the command line on my laptop (running ubuntu linux) to transfer files using the laptop. Should I send this thing back or is it possible to do these things without a remarkable connect account?
