Proton Drive vs. NextCloud vs. Filen for cloud storage (lemmy.zip)

So I need some kind of cloud storage for work, however I want to move away from Google Drive (obviously). While I started my deGoogling journey by switching to Proton Unlimited, I am now looking to decentralize services from Proton, especially Proton Drive.

I have already tried the "put it on a hard drive and carry it around" route and unfortunately, it is just not working.

So the two Drive alternatives I have found are NextCloud and Filen. I would love to hear people's opinions on each (good and bad), and I am also open to any other suggestions.

Thanks, I might give them a serious try. For the price I can't find anything cheaper than $5 for 3T a month.

Do you use any encryption?

[–] Gizmoszikar@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is no encryption (as in the case of Proton, for example), but Swiss law is a sufficient guarantee for me.

[–] Lychee@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Be careful on trusting the Swiss law blindly, there are reasons why Proton wants to move out.
