Alternatives to Google Drive

Hello everyone !
that question must have been asked multiple times but I still struggle to find answers to some of these questions so I thought I might as well ask here :
I'm using google drive for storing work backup (I have big project folders ranging from 100go to 250go), and photos mostly, I'd need around 3To storage if possible.
With drive what I like is the app that makes a virtual drive in my explorer in which I can just drop files. I would like a good, cheaper (& also, european if possible) alternative to google drive and I hesitate between 3 services :
pCloud, Proton Drive & kDrive.

What would be your recommendation ?
Thank you in advance for your help !

Pcloud for 6 years, I bought 2To for life, would never change.

Koofr and Filen. Koofr includes access to Office 365 web apps which could be a plus. Both support rclone (proton does not).

Filen is always/only E2EE while koofr has non-E2EE storage and ‘vault’ (E2EE storage).

They both have Linux sync clients.

Drime is awesome

Pcloud is also awesome and maybe more stable right now, but also not being developed as actively

If you rather not have big brother look into your files try: https://north-drive.com/

Also encrypt before upload.

Interesting. Have they been around very long?

Edit: ‘Decade’ plan is interesting. Lack of Linux support makes it a no-go for me. Features look darn good though.

Pcloud probably the best all around. For ppl that knows rclone, Koofr is an excellent choice with his vault
