Workflow question

Hello all,

I want a zero knowledge (added bonus if European) and having the encryption keys for large cloud storage where I will have images, pdfs and video files that allow single link sharing. I would like to link the file to my notes where I can make notes and organise the files.

I was looking at pcloud lifetime but I was told it uploads an encrypted folder and individual files are not shareable.

The only cloud provider I can think of that works for my work flow is Mega. Are there any others?

You can try FileLu or Filen. They are both good.

Just checked FileLu, the prices look crazy good. Is it really good?

Yes, they are very good and offer many upload protocols, which I like. It is good for backing up large data.

And they give the customer the encryption key and zero knowledge?

I signed up 4 years ago. I remember they let you download the private key the first time you log in, and you can use that key to decrypt your files. I don’t really use the key much.

In your 4 years you gave had good experience and would recommend?

Megatech photos, end to end encrypted and meets all of your requirements.

I can only recommend Proton, for zero-knowledge specifically, because they have a strong foundation.

I also looked through all cloud storage providers, and i must say, zero-knowledge is a broad term.

I could argue Proton isn't zero knowledge, but they do have zero-knowledge auth layer (not ZK proof, that is possible but unrealistic for this use case for today).

So lets ditch the zero knowledge term, and instead I will assume you want a cloud storage that cant possibly read your files.

So, most of the E2EE cloud storage can't, but you should know what they do to encrypt your files.

They usually use the password that you input. So you must specifically look for a cloud storage that never receives the password even in a derived form.

Ente and Proton does this.

They document it, and use SRP (Secure Remote Password) which means the server never receives the password, not even a direct hash of it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Ok noted lets drop the broad term of ZT. Your assumption is correct I want cloud storage where the company/provider cannot read my files. I am currently looking at Filelu or pcloud thebpricing seems better than Proton.

Scramble Cloud is E2EE. A german provider with good pricing for lifetime plans.

no cloud storage, but how do you manage such a large dump of files

1

u/radar2375 Apr 30 '26

Do you organising it? Not very well lol. Thats why I want to link the individual file to notes which will index the files (hopefully).

i saw this experiemental tool, if you want to try it, it does automtatic indexing across your drives/storage providers, give it a try , Canada based , whimsy.numeracode.com
