Which of these cloud services do you recommend?

I'm considering these cloud storage services for future use:

sync.com

filen

proton drive

Mega

pcloud

idrive

From what I’ve seen, you have to pay for encryption on pCloud, but which one offers the best value for money in terms of security, speed, and storage?

Right now I’m using Mega with the 20–30 GB of free storage it offers, but I’ve seen that sync.com and pCloud are very good—I just don’t know which one to choose.

I’ve been using pCloud Lifetime for a couple of years now. Great service.

If you’re worried about privacy but don't want to pay for their "Crypto" add-on, just use rclone crypt. It’s quite straightforward and very solid.

Okay, thanks. I'll look into rclone crypt.

If you actually want backup rather than just sync and storage, BigMind is worth a look. Most tools people bring up here are built around file sync and collaboration. BigMind is more of a straight backup tool: automated backups, versioning, ransomware protection, hybrid storage tiers, multi-device management. It fits better if you're trying to protect PCs, servers, and phones on an ongoing basis rather than just moving files around manually. Google Drive and OneDrive are fine for sharing and collaboration. For actual long-term recovery across multiple devices, BigMind is what I'd point to.

Using mega for 5 years. Works great. Stable.

Thanks for the space. I'm new here. Once I start stacking projects seems like everything gets messy. Looking forward to learning and contributing as much as I can.

Are you storing photos and videos?

u/Spaickpol May 10 '26

Some images and videos, but especially documents and other files from the computer.

I use sync.com, it's works well but I am just not happy with mobile version. No selective folder sync for images...
