    Owncloud or nextcloud? Owncloud is a bit less private, but has third party cloud offerings as well, if you don’t want to host it all yourself.

    Proton Drive is pretty good. They have a word processor and now a spreadsheet and can also manage photos with albums.

    More details?

    Today with the ability to store so much at home and then use a clouds asked backup, I don’t see much use formatter cloud storage service over which I have little control, and would need to encrypt anything I store there anyway.

    I can see use-cases, but for most I’d still rather self-host.

      Hmmm, strange. When I went to search it on my computer it only listed 1GB, but when I made my account on mobile it did say I had 10GB. Still, thanks. When I get a job (which might be very soon, I’m sending appliances around already), I’ll be sure to upgrade to a paid plan and support 'em.

    murena.io, maybe, at least where privacy is concerned. (Their free 1GB is laughably small.) But honestly, there’s nothing better than hosting your own on old hardware.

    I’ve heard of a program that make a crypted file that you could put into your Drive.

    However

    1. I don’t remember what it was and I’m hoping that someone here could remember it for me
    2. I don’t know how it would work if you open it on a phone or tablet
    3. google will have the data relative to who have access to the file which is kind of their business model

        I used MEGA for a while and was pretty happy because their free plan is (or was back then) very generous, and they had a BSD command line client. Out of the blue, my account got blocked, and when I logged in, something along these lines appeared on the screen:

        ‘You are using the same password for MEGA and other services. This is a security risk and is not allowed’.

        That’s one of the shadiest fucking things a cloud company could write. First, not true, second, even if that were true, how would you know it.
