One of the best E2EE Cloud Storage Service with open-sourced clients.
Works on all devices. Straightforward. Fast.
Unfortunately they will accept crypto“currencies” as payment soon—read, pyramid Ponzi schemes.
Edit: their client has continuous upload/download traffic and disk write activity: https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste/filen-desktop/issues/108#issuecomment-2495252477
I've tried several alternatives to Google Drive/MS OneDrive, and this one felt the most comfy to transition to. There is no support for reading docs and all that, but for storage purposes and syncing between my devices it is perfect, considering. Besides, it offers 10GB of storage for free, which I won't be able to fill up ever with my normal usage.
You can even get up to 40GB for free if your friends sign up through your link. More than enough for most people!
The cheapest cloud storage ever - and it just keeps getting better and better over time
Compared to Proton Drive, Filen is much more affordable and it is E2EE and Open Source as well. Storage plans are very well structured.
open source, stable, supports linux, innovative backup options
The best cloud storage I have ever seen. You don't need to invite friends to have full 10GB(unlike pCloud and Internxt Drive). It is E2EE and Open source, so you can trust them.
