What is the best cloud storage provider right now?

wuphysics87 , 17 days ago

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.

I think they recently rolled it out recently

The cheapest one + rclone crypt and or cryptomator / veracrypt

Cloud is just someones computer so I wouldn't ever upload anything without encrypting it manually myself first just in case .

QuazarOmega , 17 days ago

If the client (which encrypts the data in for an E2EE service) is open source and has also been audited by third parties than there's little reason to do so

Psych , 17 days ago

Yep but just in case yknow if your paranoid like me . also that kind of a provider is hard to come by .

I guess so, it doesn't hurt if you don't mind the inconvenience

Best for what requirements?

Lots of space? Ease of use? What devices? Web access? Etc

What's your favorite?

Dark_Arc , 18 days ago

Proton because I get it basically for free under my existing Proton plan and because of Proton's stellar reputation.

That's not to say the apps aren't a bit buggy or missing (Linux doesn't have one) though.

I'm using BorgBase with Vorta (desktop client for Borg Backup) and I'm pretty happy with it.

con_fig , 17 days ago

I started with this setup and added borgmatic to my home server. Borg and borgbase are awesome.

I think storj is worth mentioning. You could also look at the list of supported providers for rclone.

If you need to share with others, trezorit is probably the best option for businesses and Mega is second (and the first few gigs are free)

Backblaze B2 with rclone and client-side encryption

refalo , 18 days ago (edited 18 days ago)

Way too expensive. I pay $200/mo for 160TB with an entire large dedicated server attached to it from hetzner.

delirious_owl , 17 days ago

I get about 100G for less than a dollar a month on backblaze b2. My credit card company waves fees less than a dollar, so its free.

It covers all my servers and PC backups.

BitWarden provides some encrypted storage on their paid tiers. I think it's very small, like 1GB, but it's E2E.

Apple iCloud storage is actually E2E too if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. (Note that not all iCloud features are E2E, like email, for example.) And the price is pretty comparable too. Naturally this works a lot better if you're on a Mac, but just FYI.

Filen.io is really good, but lacking features in their apps. But they're about to release a new desktop client with webdav and rclone support.

I like Backblaze mostly for their business practices. The Backblaze devs answer questions on forums sometimes (Reddit link btw). The costs are pretty good, but there are cheaper options. $6/TB plus some API transactions. I paid almost a dollar last month for a couple hundred GB of data and transactions.

Plus their drive failure publications are awesome.
