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.

    Did the same thing. Degoogled to Proton, felt like they don’t put effort into their Linux versions. No drive still. And started giving me bad vibes over the past few years.

    Moved to mailbox.org, back to bitwarden etc.

    The cloud storage has been my biggest hurdle. Filen seems decent.

    Cryptomator + KDrive has been on my mind due to such a low price and it has WebDAV allegedly

      I use KDrive with webdav and a Linux client. It works great, no problems at all. The speed is noticeably better than Google Drive ever was.

        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?
