What are /r/cloudstorage's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Encrypting yourself is great, Google won't know what's being stored! I use Rclone now as well, but as I was starting out I thought it was too complicated, so I begun with Cryptomator. It's a great place to start, but rclone is something definetely worth learning though.

Just wondering. If you encrypt all of your files before uploading them anyhow, why would you need an E2E encrypted cloud?

The best out there when it come to usability and security id Tresorit. It's a little more expensive but especially the app and the fact that you can sync any folder without moving files around is really awesome.

I see a lot of recommendations for iDrive on sites, but they're most likely making money from affiliate marketing. All I know is when I used them for a year with the 90% off deal then canceled, they still tried to bill my credit card for another year even though it clearly said my account would not be renewed. If I hadn't switched to a fake card, it would have been a pain to deal with. Their TrustPilot page is also full of other problems.

I would stay far away from them.

pCloud is really good but on macOS it requires you to run a file system integration layer, macFuse https://osxfuse.github.io/ , and it bugged me a few times (filenames that couldn't sync for instance). That was a while ago and probably doesn't apply to Windows users.

They only have a Windows version. You could use MultCloud it's browser-based, to view each cloud account via the same web page and transfer files between them. But I'm not aware of any mobile app that 'combines' clouds like Air Cluster.

If it's just photos, Google One (what Google calls its paid cloud service) could be fine.
After June 1st, 2021, Google Photos is going to request that you have paid storage if you're using more than 15 GB of space. There will be a 2 year grace period for pre-existing media, however.

100 GB would be just $1.67/month.
200 GB would be just $2.50/month.
*assuming you go annually, of course [since you'd already know you need it anyway]

If you actually need more than that, then of course you could look at other options at that time.

• The normal low-cost option iDrive doesn't preview files in the browser, so that'd be out.
• However, pCloud does have a 500 GB plan that'd only be $3.99/month.
  And they do allow you to preview your files (like pictures, videos) in the app & browser.
  It's also got a ton of other features.

I'm still pretty new to Dropbox and SugarSync, but am trying to sync my iTunes files between two computers (not sure how "neat" that is, but it'd be great for me!). If there's a way to have iTunes synced between two computers without Dropbox or SugarSync, please let me know!

I'm trying to get about 2GB more of storage so I'll have enough space to set up the iTunes syncing. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it! Sign up through http://db.tt/rerGrlo for Dropbox or https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=cfccjhkxc93f8 for SugarSync. Thanks!

Between those: pCloud, easily.

They have seemingly every single feature people tend to look for on here.
I didn't use them at first, then I couldn't help but notice how seemingly every single time somebody would be looking for certain features on here, pCloud had it.

Since then, it's been a bit funny seeing people stress over <this provider> and <that provider>, while pCloud has just continued to work, absolutely flawlessly for me, with every single thing I've ever needed. I've used a bunch of different services, yet pCloud is the one I recommend the most. It makes itself the easiest to recommend.

If you plan on uploading questionable files (like torrents, etc) then just pair it with Cryptomator (insanely easy to use) and put those files in what it calls 'Vaults' – then bam, you're set.

Nope.
Reading around a bit there is some general skepticism, though it's largely because of how new they are. Over in r/datahoarder somebody speculated if they're what's called a "summer host" (basically, a company that pops up > usually offers a nice deal > then a few months later disappears into the night with your money and no more service to show).

If you run their whois they barely popped up in ~June out of nowhere (so... 2 months ago).

Nonetheless, their pricing is not really competitive.

Moreover and as to your questions, they do claim to be a zero-knowledge provider which along with their claimed AES-256 bit encryption would be excellent and really about all you'd need to have if you're looking for file security.

Now, even if a service wasn't zero-knowledge (or really, even very secure), you could basically just do it yourself rather easily by using something like Cryptomator.

When your files are locked away in this manner, the file host or anybody that breached (or even demanded files from) them would not be able to read your files, because not only do they have zero way to get your password (they're zero-knowledge), but they also don't know your encryption key. Only you do, and there's no way for them to even get it on their end.

• So even if the company was hacked, any data they attempted to scoop from you would be utterly useless as it'd just be a jumbled mess of nonsense that is completely unreadable (it'd take some ridiculous number of years for even very powerful computers to crack it to make it readable).

> Koofr 1TB plan equates to $141.60 / yr! That's more expensive than Dropbox which weighs in at 2TB for $119!

He speaks about Lifetime offer

Koofr Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription (1TB)

It is onetime payment.

Thanks. I read too many complaints about iDrive stability and speed so I eventually went with OneDrive. Microsoft has a promotion of 6TB family plan in $70 for 15 months + 12 month subscription for NordVPN.

There are a ton of reasons this could be for, but here's just a quick few:

• How small are the files you're uploading
  • (many, small files will always take longer to move than same-sized larger files - e.g. 10 GB small files = much slower than 10 GB in one file).
• Your Hard Drive speed (or, your SSD Speed).
• What is your actual connection speed? Not what you pay for, but what you actually test at.
• Where are you located? They (pCloud) have their US Servers in Dallas, TX from what I remember.

So long as you leave your speed settings in the pCloud app to "Unlimited" it shouldn't throttle you.

&#x200B;

I'm suspecting given the speed that the problem is either Reason #1, 3 or 4 (in that order, and very much leaning toward Reason #1).

• If so, this is nothing actually to do with pCloud and instead just a general issue with moving smaller files.
  • There are technical reasons but suffice to say it is always much slower to move many small files than it is to move equivalently sized large file(s).

pCloud is a popular one that has tons of features that's on there (Google Play link).
If you open it there after installation, navigating the app to the upgrade section, it looks like it gives the option to pay with your linked methods.

You didn't specify how much storage you're looking for, but assuming you're doing the annual plans:

• 2 TB = only $8.33/mo (8.42 EUR if they use the current conversion rate)
• 500 GB = only $4.17/mo (4.22 EUR if they use current conversion rate)

They have Lifetime plans also that breakeven after just ~2.5 years, if you get it when they're running one of their promos (they run 75% off a couple-few times a year on the 2 TB plan, typically around days like New Year's, 4th of July, Black Friday, etc). After that, it's basically become free.

> Oh dear, what have you started? I am aware how such affiliate-marketing links and schemes work. Why did you not initially declare that you stand to materially gain by posting that "informative" link, and similarly ignore the opportunity when called out to confirm or deny it was an affiliate link. I have since confirmed it is. You stand to gain 10 dollars for every "customer" you refer, as confirmed here and other places

Dude, take a deep breath and relax, I'm not the OP.

> It is also a disreputable way of marketing a product or service and, I understand, actually illegal in some jurisdictions (although, to be clear, I am now speaking generally).

Stacksocial based in USA, if you think it is illegal, you can sue them.

> They also get the potential, again speaking generally, to get negative feedback about their product or service on account of having a relationship with such a scheme that seemingly lies about the original cost of the product or service and for a large part relies on people to promote, often without disclosure, they stand to benefit financially through their "kind recommendation". Plus, one may be suspicious about the overall presentation of the proposition.

Windscribe, AdGuard, pCloud, Ivacy and many other companies worked or working with Stacksocial. They all are pretty long time players on the market and no one is whining about connections to Stacksocial. Just the opposite, for example many users begging Windscribe to restock Lifetime accounts on Stacksocial, but it was only temporary deal from them to get publicity and to generate one time investments at beginning.

As I said, as a customer I'm totally satisfied with my Stacksocial purchases. Only thing is, you need to do your own research about each deal/item, but it is necessary also when you subscribe directly to some service.

It is just silly to concentrate on strikethrough "regular price" instead of the product/service.

I am precisely now trying to do the same (getting rid of google photos in my case).

I bougth a thin client (small pc) and installed an SSD on it. Next steps:

Install ubuntu server (I like ubuntu, and server because I do not need all the desktop-related software)

activate/install the service for https://nextcloud.com/ .

Install the apps in the android phones of my family.

...

On computers you can use Cryptomator with any cloud service, including Jotta.

If you want to access your vaults on mobile devices, then you are limited to few choices + WebDAV-compatible options (Jotta is not an option).

Also the Jottacloud Rclone script could be interesting, but I have no experience with that https://rclone.org/jottacloud/

As I was reading through your post, it seemed like pCloud would be an exact solution (especially since you want to be able to work with the files as if they were on your computer, but without them actually taking up space on your computer).
... but then I got to your copyright/torrent stuff.

If you have that stuff, you could still use pCloud, just get Cryptomator and put those types of files in what it calls a "Vault" – what this does is zero-knowledge encrypts them, so that nobody has even the slightest clue what your files are, except you.

Cryptomator is super easy to use, but if you have questions, feel free to message me.
I've timed it before, and it only takes me about 10 seconds to create a Vault from scratch.. that's how easy it is to use.

Hard drives failing is actually what got me into cloud storage initially as well, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. It just seemed like such BS that you could not even touch the drive, but then out of nowhere it just stops reading one day.

pCloud has 2 TB and 500 GB Lifetime options.

If you plan on putting files like movies, songs, etc in it then just be sure to use Cryptomator and put them in a Vault. It's ridiculously easy to use (only takes seconds), and it will add zero-knowledge encryption to your account 100% for Free.

You'll find that pCloud has so many features, that literally the only thing you ever hear people complain about with them (not being allowed to host illegal files like torrents, movies, etc in it) is incredibly easy to mitigate by just using Cryptomator for those files. You don't even need to do it for all your files – just the ones like movies, etc. And, again, it's so easy to use it's honestly gotten to be comical by this point hearing people continue to get flustered by such an incredibly simple problem when there's a modern, cloud solution sitting right there.

Cryptomator can be used to make any cloud storage zero-knowledge, not just pCloud.

If you try out pCloud and want to stick with them long-term:
— a tip is they tend to run promos around holidays like New Years, 4th of July, Cyber Monday, etc.
Ignore their "65% off" thing – that's really just their normal price.
Their promos for individual plans are 75% Off ($245 for 2 TB)

• (note: they don't tend to run promos on the 500 GB, presumably b/c it's already inexpensive).

I'm moving toward a more local solution too. One thing that's working well for me is SyncThing which I use to sync folders between three or four computers. Really great tool, open source, free, syncs much faster than cloud tools. In effect it's a peer-to-peer cloud and you don't pay for storage. https://syncthing.net/

I backup to backblaze currently for offsite copy.

Koofr is my main storage

Koofr Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription (1TB)

You can setup auto-backup from your PC or media files from your mobile devices.

And you can also connect your Google Drive, Dropbox and One Drive account to it and have full access to them within one Koofr account. It is very handy, it is almost like expanding your storage even more.

They have very limited functionality and they can ban you even for non shared copyrighted content.

Personally I use Koofr for last year and I'm totally happy with it.

Koofr Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription (1TB)

Yes, you get less space, but much more functionality in terms of backup/sharing and I never seen any complains about blocked Koofr accounts because of non shared copyrighted content.

I'm looking for something like a timed vault. I want to put some files here, and design a persone as a emergency contact, who can request the access to my vault. I then can accept/deny the access, or it will be automatically accepted after like 90 days.

Similar to what Bitwarden emergency access does: https://bitwarden.com/blog/post/bitwarden-launches-emergency-access/

Yeah, there are going to be some quirks because this is really raw storage - services like Dropbox generate thumbnails because it’s a full cloud storage solution, whereas B2 is really just storage.

If you want to do a little bit of command line scripting, [https://rclone.org](rclone) can upload your folders from your computer keeping their structure. It won’t help with the thumbnails but you won’t have to create each folder one by one and do the uploads manually.

I'm using Koofr for last year and pretty happy with it.

Koofr Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription (1TB)

• No traffic limit

• WebDAV support
• Option to connect Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox accounts, so you can have access to them within one window/app and transfer files between them without any traffic limits as well
• URL shortener with custom names
• Individual passwords for different apps

I use for years SyncTraysor for sync between mylaptop and minipc. And Syncthing-Fork to sync them with my android phone

Well, I mean that really depends on the website. There are a lot of shifty websites. For example, vpnMentor is owned by the same company that owns PIA and Cyberghost (VPNs), and when it got purchased it changed its rankings to put PIA at the top of mkost lists. Then that same company bought ExpressVPN and suddenly that one's at the top of all vpnMentor lists.

I work for a software review company (cloud storage is our main thing), and we don't let our affiliate deals impact our judgment. For example, I wrote a review for Filen, which is barely a year old right now, and I gave it incredibly high marks where it deserved them. It got a perfect score for security and privacy, which I don't think we even gave Sync.com, which is obviously a bigger money maker.

My point is, some reviewers are earnest, and you can tell by looking at the writing. If the content sounds like it was written by a telemarketer, then it's probably biased. If it's good writing, then it's probably not.

BTW, every review site has affiliate deals with probably literally every piece of software they're reviewing. It's almost unavoidable, and would be a missed opportunity to not have affiliate deals. It's the only viable business model right now.

you may want to try Eagle ?
you can easily sync through the cloud and it provides tagging and annotations. You can categorize photos across different dimensions very easily (e.g., by platform, by subject, by style, by shape, by color etc.), and can easily create custom queries, smart folders, auto-import, and even traditional folders that are actually another type of tag. beautiful interface too!

What's the actual breakdown of data that is:

• Photos + Video + Movies?

What about how much data is:

• Music + Documents?

&#x200B;

I've a feeling that you have nowhere near 5 TB of Music & Documents.

So, here are just two quick, simple workarounds:

• Save your Photos/Video/Movies in Google Photos
  • this is assuming that you don't require Photos to be > 16 Megapixels, or Video to be > 1080p HD. Both 16 MP and 1080p are Full HD, so in other words, it should be perfectly fine unless you specifically shoot in "Ultra HD's" (like 4k).
• Use a service like Multcloud which links multiple cloud accounts into 1 singular account
  • I've personally not used Multcloud but have read it recommended plenty of times for cases like this (where the person insists on accessing their numerous accounts through one, singular login).

MultCloud allows you to transfer files/folders between cloud accounts, in addition to two-way and one-way synchronization. It supports Google Drive, OneDrive and numerous others. With the free account you can transfer/upload/download up to 50GB of data each month. It's entirely browser based, but once a transfer or two-way sync has been started you can close your browser as all transfers use MultCloud's connections not yours.

https://www.multcloud.com/

Another possibility, if your drive contents exist in the cloud, would be MultCloud.

It exists solely in the cloud (no desktop app) so you could be on a 'third' computer and still set up a folder sync.

There are two versions free and subscription. I use the free version which provides one-way and two-way sync modes which work well. You can also ask it to send you an e-mail when synchronization has completed.

For the paid subscription version you are further offered a variety of synchronization methods supporting both inclusion and exclusion filters for file types, specific names, extensions etc. The synchronizations can also be set up as daily, weekly and monthly events. https://www.multcloud.com/product

I would recommend to check out Minio. Every time it comes to FTP alternatives, Minio is the first thing that comes to mind. Check out this article for more info.

You should take a look at Tresorit. Top security, very good collaboration tools and user management and the apps are built very well. Not the cheapest but worth it in my opinion. I have the 2.5 TB subscription and love it.

https://tresorit.com

>I just want something simple that is a one time charge for 1 device that is no more than 10G.

Given you need just 10GB cloud capacity, consider the Box free offering https://www.box.com/pricing/individual
Alternatives like OneDrive, Sync offer just 5GB for free.

pCloud tends to be highly recommended.

They have 500 GB and 2 TB (2,000 GB) options.
You can pay monthly, annually, or you can pay a one-time fee for a "Lifetime" subscription.

• On the Lifetime subscription, they tend to run 2–3 promos/year on it (on dates like 4th of July, Black Friday, New Year's, etc) and it's usually for their 2 TB option, making it just $245.
  • this means that for it to pay for itself you just need to figure if you'll have it for at least 2 1/2 years. After that, in a way, they're paying you back every year through $$$ you're no longer paying out to a cloud provider.

They seem to always have the features people are looking for on here, and in one place.

Yes, this question has come up before on here (example) and there are several services that offer it. However, some appear to be buggy in practice when it comes to actually ONLY using the host's storage.

pCloud in my experience has never had such an issue, whereas Dropbox for example I can go to folders right now that aren't supposed to be taking up space in my account (they're from other people) and yet they are. For whatever reason, some of these services seem to have issues here & there with double-counting storage usage.

• I've never had such an issue with pCloud however, and nobody I know of has either - it's always just worked.

Wouldn't most services do this? Or at least, the more popular ones?

pCloud would additionally satisfy your 2nd requirement (of being able to mount it to your system) - as pCloud creates what's known as a 'Virtual Drive' (a P:\ drive, much like the C:\ drive on everyone's computer).

Once it's mounted, of course you could write a script or program to automatically transfer files.

pCloud (like many cloud services) generates a download link for the file - it's hashed, but can be universally shared. Anyone who has the link, can download with it.
It's also not locked to one IP address, and the expiration dates^(*) can be set to expire at whatever date (and even specific time) you'd like. The files can also be played (or loaded, if is non-video) in the browser.

^(*)Note: expiring links is currently a feature available on paid pCloud accounts - just like it's only available on paid Dropbox, Google Drive, and other service's accounts. But you didn't mention anything about only wanting free.

Not sure I understand why you mentioned looking for a service that provides this, but then listed off 4 places that you believe provide this?

Of those 4, pCloud is generally the one I recommend because of everything it has to offer, as well as its competitive pricing (they even have a Lifetime option, which you can find for 75% off usually ~1-3x per year, typically around major holidays - the 65% off you see on their website normally is really just their regular offering).

I know for sure it offers exactly what you're looking for because I, as anyone that's used them, have personally used that feature a lot (it's the normal way you interact with your files).

This is the answer.

You would use the encryption provided by Cryptomator to basically read the contents of the virtual drive created elsewhere (ex: by Air Live Drive or RaiDrive - disclaimer, I've not used either of these two but the idea is simple and employed elsewhere). If you want a cloud storage solution that already doesn't store your files locally (so that you don't need to use Air Live or RaiDrive) you could go with pCloud, since pCloud automatically creates a virtual drive for you such that whatever is stored in it only actually appears to be saved on your computer, when in reality it's just essentially streaming it from your online cloud account (their servers).

This would satisfy all of your requirements.
You can then easily read the names of the contents of your encrypted drive/folder in Cryptomator.

Very simple.

Also consider peer-to-peer. Setup one PC as the host and use Reslio Sync or Syncthing (open source) to sync a folder or group of folders to other PCs or mobile.

I use Resilio to sync a shared folder between macs and a linux box. At the end of the day, that's what I want.... a folder that is identical across devices. I use another service to back it all up offsite (currently Backblaze unlimited $70/year)

Yeah that seems to be, literally, the only thing anybody ever says about it. And it's certainly a valid concern, of course (assuming you're somebody that plans on keeping copyrighted/pirated/etc material). It's a concern I have (or rather, had: see below) with it, personally.

That said, it's really easily mitigated by just using pCloud like normal, and then whatever files [like copyrighted files, etc] you want to protect, you just put them in a Cryptomator Vault – then absolutely nobody but you would ever know what's in there. Cryptomator is insanely easy to use (and 100% free, popular, and well-vetted by now).

• all you do is put ANY files you want inside what it calls a "Vault" (I just timed it and it took me less than 10 seconds to make a Vault).

• after that, whenever you want to access your super secured files (like movies, etc) locked inside your Vault, you just unlock it by putting in the password for it.
  BAM, done. That's literally it.

Using Cryptomator also adds an additional layer of security since with whole-account encryption, if they get into your account (ex: figure out your password), that's it. With Cryptomator, they'd have to know both your login and your Vault password to even try to unscramble your ultra-secured stuff.

A bit late here but +1 for pCloud.

That's not even a competition. Like, pCloud hands down.

They tend to have everything in 1 package.
One thing that happens with the others is they'll have some (or most) features, but won't have them all (will be missing some). With pCloud, they seem to have emphasized having it all in one.

It literally got to be so often that I'd be on here reading what people were looking for, and me realizing that pCloud specifically had their solution, that I ended up getting it myself. I was literally like, "Damn, I swear they seriously seem to always have the solution people are looking for"

If you pair it with <strong>Cryptomator</strong> (100% Free, very popular encryption program, that is mind-numbingly easy to use) then you've got an absolute slam-dunk.

• With Cryptomator, you won't need to buy pCloud's "Crypto" thing and you won't have to ever worry about anyone (including pCloud) having even the slightest clue of what's in your folders or files
  • so if you have confidential, sensitive, or any other information you need only your eyes to see, then Cryptomator + pCloud is it.

>you have to pay extra for zero-knowledge extra safety

Cryptomator is usable with pCloud (and basically any provider) and is so insanely easy to use I don't get why people still think you need to pay anyone for encryption (or go with a different service because "they have it").

All you do is create folders (what it calls "Vaults") that you'd like to 100% encrypt and NOBODY but you will be able to tell what's even in those folders. And it's actually a little extra layer of security, since you have to input a password to unlock your Vault(s) - whereas normally in a cloud service, if they're just logged into your account, that's it... no extra layer of security since with the login they already got an authentication token.

If you know how to use a folder and type a password, you can use Cryptomator.
I have no affiliation with them, I just saw your post and they're one of the most popular pieces of encryption software out there, and it's been well-vetted.

What if you just encrypt your photos, so they can't read them (or have absolutely any idea about anything else you have on there)?

Then if they banned you, they'd have some real shit to have to explain, since all your stuff was encrypted.

You can encrypt everything very easily using Cryptomator (100% Free, Open Source, and reputable).

With Cryptomator, you can securely view your encrypted folder contents locally so that only you know what's in them (it de-encrypts them on-the-fly). The effect is you're able to browse your files like normal, but nobody else would have the slightest clue as to what the hell is in your encrypted areas (what Cryptomator calls "Vaults").

If I were picking between those options it'd be between Google Drive and pCloud.

You mention concerns over privacy, and also having to pay extra to pCloud for their Crypto add-on.

• You don't need to pay anything for encryption or privacy these days
  – Cryptomator turns ANY service into a completely, 100% encrypted, unreadable-to-anyone-but-you service. And it's 100% free and open source.
  – with Cryptomator, no matter who you use, neither they nor anyone else will be able to read anything you have up, so, security concerns become a thing of the past.

As far as additional (redundant) backups, you could utilize iDrive's insane 90% off promo for 5 TB / 1 year that they've been running.

• Even outside of promo, virtually nobody is ever able to compete with them on price (normally for 5 TB it's only $52.12/year or for 10 TB it's barely $74.62/year).

As always, what I mention is always what I would think to do myself if I were in your situation.
I'd never recommend somebody to do something that I wouldn't be willing to do myself.

They would only be able to see it because you're staying logged in.
Their virtual drive only remains mounted so long as you choose to stay logged in (to pCloud).

One way you could get around this without having to log out though would be if you encrypted your files - or at least the files you really wouldn't want anyone else to have access to.

You would just encrypt the folders holding sensitive files.
This would be very easy to do with Cryptomator (they call encrypted folders "Vaults").

In this way, only people with your actual ENCRYPTION key would be able to view your files.

Okay, then your question is if you could get by only having your files there.

Google is a large enough company that we can not expect it to go under (fail).
As such, you can reasonably expect your files to be fine on there.

In general though, it is recommended to at least have your most important files backed up elsewhere as well - just in case something weird ever does happen, so that you're not screwed.

With Google, so long as you're not putting pirated/copyrighted content in your account then you shouldn't have any issue, since they'd ~never have a reason to delete your account otherwise.
If you do insist on putting that type of content in your cloud account, people usually encrypt it before doing so (even though this obviously isn't the only use for encryption).

• If you want to encrypt your files, Cryptomator is a well-recommended application.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
QUESTIONS:
How much do you have to backup? (i.e. how much storage space do you need)
Are you only looking for free services?
Or do you have a dollar amount you'd like to stay under per month?

To be clear though, the zero-knowledge is an OPTION but you have to opt into it.
It's not the default.

When signing up you decide if you want a private key or not.
To get zero-knowledge you'd have to go with a private key - at which point managing that private key is your responsibility, not theirs (it'd be zero-knowledge so, obviously they'll have no clue what your key is).

This is of course important to point out so that a person isn't under a false assumption that they just do it naturally. You have to choose the correct option when setting it up for it to be zero-knowledge. The private key option is no additional cost.

There's of course also always the option of just encrypting your files on your own instead before uploading them (ex: with Cryptomator). They wouldn't have the slightest clue what any of your files are then either.

Then it appears you were impacted by their marketing campaigns, and just so happen to look exactly like most of their other accounts that push it. They always come in and attempt to act like real people, supposedly "innocently" asking if Internxt really is f'ing awesome and the answer to all life's questions (and, routinely, they always make a point to bash other companies.. their competitors). They've been busted at various points across Reddit (in different subs) in employing this same strategy (which is actually against Reddit's Terms of Service, as it's advertising without paying).

If you'd like the most secure cloud, then that depends on what exactly you define as "secure."

If you simply mean that a company not know anything about your files (their contents, etc), then that's very easy: you're looking for zero-knowledge encryption, in which case you can use companies like Sync, Tresorit, or even pCloud.

But, really, as I previously mentioned, you can make ANY service zero-knowledge encryption for free so long as you're comfortable doing so.

• Ex: just use Cryptomator - one of the top options for personal encryption.

Keep in mind, both pCloud and Icedrive have traffic limitations and if your videos are heavy and you stream a lot, you can run out of your traffic pretty fast.

It was main reason, why I got Koofr instead of pCloud/Icedrive.

Koofr Cloud Storage: Lifetime Subscription (1TB)

Koofr doesn't have own videotranscoder like pCloud, but you can access your storage via WebDAV and stream anything. You can mount WebDAV drive in many video players like KODI for example.

They do have an app...
