Hi guys I was looking for an E2EE cloud storage with reasonable pricing (I need nothing special just for personal use) and found filen.io pretty compelling. Does anyone here use filen? How is your experience with it?

It works, but it is pretty slow.

Edit: I don’t use it anymore, after proton added photo upload I switched entirely.

Probably closer to annoyingly slow than unusable, but I was definitely happy when j got an alternative to it.

For me: uploading single file using their client ~25MB/s, downloading ~50MB/s (30-60MB/s). In newer versions of their linux client it’s possible to mount filen as network drive or to start webdav/s3 server.

I am using Filen since 6 months and it’s pretty good. I use it as my main cloud backup solution. I am no heavy user. I never thought that it’s slow. I was using Mega and Proton Drive in the past. The price of Filen is imho unbeatable and I prefer to support a company that is based in germany.

I’ve been using their service for two years now. It’s open source and encrypted, and the upload speeds exponentially improved.
