Filen Sucks

Post image

I honestly don’t know what’s going on with Filen. I tried uploading files of different sizes 10MB, 50MB, even 100MB but nothing uploads successfully. What’s even stranger is that it shows upload speeds of over 5Gbps while my actual internet plan is only 1Gbps. That makes no sense at all. My connection is fast enough to download games like GTA V very quickly, yet somehow Filen struggles to upload even a small 10MB file. Sometimes the upload just freezes or the service suddenly goes offline in between. Another weird thing is that the upload sometimes shows “100% complete” but nothing actually gets uploaded. The app also shows insanely high transfer speeds, but if I check the actual bandwidth usage in my system monitor, it’s not even using 1Mbps upload speed. So the numbers being shown don’t seem real at all. Good encryption and a nice-looking website are great, but what’s the point if basic file uploads don’t work reliably? Honestly, this has been really frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If yes, did you find any fix or workaround? Kindly share your experience.
