      saveriogccostanzo Mega gives much more free space than GoogleDrive, it is fast enough and has a strong management of the upload/download bandwidth (as much as GoogleDrive though). Good the streaming feature.

    6. Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored.

      JohnFastman For transferring a large amount of data between your computers every now and again, Synthing is brilliant: free, private, open source and MUCH faster speeds (I've seen up to 80MB/second).

      Syncthing is only for decentralized filesync. Google Drive is for centralized filesync PLUS filesharing PLUS collaboration.

      Google Drive is a centralized location of where you can put your data and provide public links to selected data or folders. Syncthing is decentralized, where you can have a copies of your data and folders on multiple computers (making it somewhat like backup software). Syncthing does not provide public links to your data, but rather others must have Syncthing software installed and the person must share their private ID.

    8. Store your private pictures, documents, calendar and contacts on your ownCloud server at home, a rented VPS or use one of the public ownCloud providers.

      Most users think ownCloud is a great alternative to Google Drive.
      Offers all majors features, plus it's self-hosted (=data under control), but can be a bit tricky to set up for a non tech-savvy.

      JohnFastman pCloud's advantage is that it works very smoothly, is hosted in Switzerland (much better privacy laws than US) and provides an encrypted folder whose contents aren't readble to the service. By contrast, GoogleDrive can read, lose, give away and analyzed all the contents of your files. Choose end-to-end encrypted alternatives. See Sync.com, Spideroak, iDrive and Cryptomator.

      Very similar to Google Drive, has 10 GB free space, mobile app, one can create/upload/edit Microsoft Office files. Additionally one can tag these files. Encryption is possible, even though you have to pay for this.
