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…)

      Unless you’re hosting that off site, it’s not really fulfilling the same complete purpose of cloud storage.

        i’m gonna play devils advocate and say you could rent cloud space on say a vps and host your own solution there instead of locally. it’d probably be better if you have the know how to do it properly.

        You can self host and make it accessible only to you from anywhere in the world.

        You might be thinking about it not fulfilling the 3-2-1 backup strategy, but as long as you have a remote copy of the data through some means then you have the remote copy fulfilled.

      I do.

      All data is replicated 3x locally, with one cloud. backup.

      Having all data in one physical location makes for a single failure point.
