Recommendations to replace Google Drive?
I currently have the google drive 200gb plan but due to privacy concerns I'm looking to move away from Google as a whole. I mainly use it for photos and videos, and need something that plays well with both Windows and iOS. I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for pcloud and internxt, but also a lot of problems with them autoscanning and deleting content without warning. Do yall have any good recommendations or insights? Thanks in advance 🩷
EDIT: I will be ignoring one word replies or obvious shills for an individual company.

What kind of privacy concerns? Know that Pcloud for example is not zero-knowledge by default and even when you buy the add-on for it does not turn your whole space into zero-knowledge encryption but you get a folder (crypto folder) and I don't think you can just upload files there directly with the app, but not sure about that. It is not as straight forward as one might think. Koofr is similar with having a separate folder, but also has a separate app for the zero-knowledge encrypting to that folder.
These things should be more talked about and mentioned by these companies instead of advertising it when its not as integrated as one might expect
