What is the best cloud storage that gives a nice balance between features and privacy? I know you can manually encrypt files to use any provider, but I would prefer an open source E2EE for the sake of convenience.

Currently I have heard about the following:

  • proton
  • filen
  • sync
  • icedrive
  • pcloud

(Not including GDrive, Onedrive etc…)

I’ve enjoyed Proton for several years, except there ia no Linux desktop client. I intend to test installing the client in a virtual machine running windows, and then use shared folders.

Nextcloud self hosted if you can. Keep in mind it does require maintenance and planning.

I’m using pcloud because proton still doesn’t have a way to share folders with other users, so I can’t share my holiday photos with my partner there.

Pcloud works fine. The online interface is not the nicest, but it works.
