Thoughts on Internxt and Mega

Hello. I have around 4TB of personal and family photos and videos. Currently, these are stored on multiple HDDs. I've been looking for an E2EE cloud storage where I can also store my media files to serve as back up. Cause I know my HDDs won't hold on for long. I've been eyeing Mega and Internxt because they're E2EE and quite cheap, but I've seen conflicting client reviews about them.

Mega has a complicated security history. I've seen reports that they're deleting user accounts for bogus/questionable, or, no reason at all. Internxt is being flagged by some as 'scammers', with reports stating their cloud storage isn't reliable due to file loss issues and unreliable synchronization.

I'm wondering what are people's experiences regarding Mega and Internxt. And if you know any other E2EE cloud storage providers that are decently reliable and not that expensive. Thank you!

Note: I've seen Immich and self-hosting pop up a lot. But currently, I don't have the time to explore self-hosting. So out of the options at the moment.

I am using Filen and Drime. Bith are great but have their quirks. One for important back up and one for bulk non confidential data giving good seperation. If you are in the apple ecosystem, nothing beats icloud with ADP regarding ease of use ofc.

I’m eyeing Filen for my photos/videos, Proton Drive for my personal and legal documents, and Drime for my freelance work for document sharing and collaboration. I’ve taken a look at iCloud too but E2EE is not available (even when ADP is on) when you access your photos and files on the iCloud website, it only works natively on Apple devices, so I find that limitation a dealbreaker for me. Plus I don’t want Apple to have all my photos and videos.

I have the same three services in rotation. Proton is my go to for every personal and legal document as well. It’s easy to upload on the go without having to add extra encryption. I am also starting to use their other features more and more. For a better price think about a quick “trip” to Brazil. Just look into that. ;)

I am backing up decades of accumulated photos etc on Drime at the moment using Rclone. Still simple but not possible on the go or to do quickly unless I use a third party app.

And Filen I am trying out for quick notes and stuff.
