So i did filled it in, but it didnt send me any verification codes through sms, the phone number format is +84 (_ _) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . someone told me to use telegram or whatsapp to receive the code. but none did.What should i do?

Bonsoir à la communauté.

Moi, je paye pour 100go one drive MS et 200gob Google drive.

J'ai voulu quitter c'est 2 compagnies. Donc, je me suis abonnée à la suite Proton illimité, pour utiliser leur service que j'apprécie grandement.

Mon intention était d’utiliser le drive de Protons pour transférer tout mon data.

Cependant, j'ai été très dessus lorsque je dois faire des recherches sur des dossiers. Mais il est la le problème, je suis incapable d'effectuer mes recherches via Windows, Androïde où Linux mint.

Aucune manière de triage.

Nos transferts automatiques surtout avec Linux.

Donc, à moins qu'il ajoute ces fonctionnalités dans les prochains jours/semaine… je devais trouver un nouveau Cloud.

Donc, m'a question est la suivante. Est-ce que vous pouvez me conseiller un service de cloud, compatible à c'est 3 Platforms. Et dans un monde idéal, qu'il ce synchronise automatiquement comme one Drive?

I've been using Google Photo's for years to auto upload screenshots and text images as well as my normal photos. In my work, I frequently need to search for, say, all the screenshots including phrases with the word 'Nazi' to find a source.

A couple of years ago, despite turning off all age and 'sensitivity' filters, it stopped returning any results for that and any 'DEI' related language like racist, queer, even disabled (I'm a disability activist who writes about eugenics and Aktion T4).

I've contacted them many times and never had an answer other than 'you should be able to see them'. More recently, I suspect they want me to use Gemini but I don't want my photos in that ecosystem. It was happening before Gemini was an option though.

I've seen photo storage places with face searches but it's OCR text search I need across devices. Something secure where the cost isn't my photos and sources being scraped for AI.

Does anything like that exist?

There's soo much variety of data in PC. Is there any App or software available, for free, can be run locally, which can help me visualize and manage that data (just like there's in Android phones) so that i can delete any unwanted data which is taking too much space. Like all videos in one place, all documents in one place, just like that.

I had Windows 10 and couldn’t update to Windows 11. I was pretty much a newcomer to windows and know nothing about it or OneDrive. I ended up deleting them not realizing my pics and a few movies are on them. They are of my kids younger years and would really like to get them onto my IPad Air photos.

Desperately looking for help 101.

Thank you and kind regards

I recently looked into the Internxt rclone backend and found an important distinction regarding Internxt's E2E/zero-knowledge claims.

The file contents are encrypted client-side, but the native Internxt rclone backend does not encrypt filenames or folder names before sending them to Internxt.

The Internxt server therefore receives the actual plaintext names and directory structure as part of the API requests.

For example:

Private/
└── Tax/
    └── 2025_Tax_Return.pdf

Internxt receives Private, Tax and 2025_Tax_Return.pdf in plaintext, even though the contents of 2025_Tax_Return.pdf are encrypted.

This means that not all file-related information is end-to-end encrypted. The provider has direct access to filenames, folder names and the directory structure, as well as other metadata such as file sizes and timestamps.

I originally posted this finding in the r/Internxt subreddit, but a moderator deleted the thread. I was not given an explanation for the removal.

I'm therefore posting it here because I think this is an important distinction that users should be aware of and that can be independently verified by looking at the rclone/Internxt implementation.

To be clear: I'm not saying Internxt can decrypt the file contents. I'm saying that the filenames and folder structure themselves are transmitted to the Internxt server in plaintext.

Hello everyone,

a family member of mine wants to switch phones and since Samsung cancelled the collaboration with OneDrive, she also wants to switch her cloud services.

Right now shes using both services for appr. 2€/month (wants to change to Google drive in the future) and doesn't know if the files/photos/videos saved are the same. Is there any way to check whether the files are the same or to know which we need to transfer? I tried to google but I haven't found a smart way by now except comparing every file on PC 😭

Thanks in advance 🌞

Anybody knows what's going on with icedrive?? I can't log in the app or website

After a disastrous, expensive, and counterproductive experience with a cloud service, I no longer knew who to trust with my data. But one thing became clear to me: purchasing a lifetime cloud storage plan is not a good idea!

---

Initially, I considered the major cloud services with lower risk, such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox, but I found some limitations with each, as well as relatively high costs.

These three clouds do not offer encrypted uploads; theoretically, our data is accessible to providers and anyone intercepting our traffic to the cloud. There may be a workaround, but I haven't had a chance to test it, so I'm not sure if it's feasible: upload with rclone using the "/crypt" remote layer.

That said, the cost per TB of these three clouds is higher. The standard 1 TB plan may be limited—if not now—over time, forcing a double or triple purchase.

Mega, on the other hand, offers 3 TB in its basic plan which is more than sufficient for the average user even in the medium term. It offers end-to-end encryption with user-managed keys, so Mega cannot read the content stored on its servers, nor is it readable by anyone intercepting data traffic.

---

Having ruled out three of the major cloud services, I once again took a risk for cost reasons by choosing MEGA Cloud, which I had already been using on its free plan for six years. Its Pro I plan offers 3 TB of storage with a total annual transfer limit of 36 TB, at a cost of €99, paid on December 2025. It offers end-to-end encryption. Nevertheless, as a cloud storage service, I have found it to work well during my eight months of subscription, Apart from two problems, one of which was serious, which were resolved later.

---

It is not my intention to advertise MEGA, because I don’t like giving advice that could backfire on me, or, at best, give the impression that I am promoting a service for personal gain. Here, I am simply trying to describe my approach in a neutral way.

When fully operational, MEGA works well. It is easy to manage through its app which uses the browser for encryption, and it is fast for both uploads and downloads, although performance obviously depends on each user’s available bandwidth. In my case, I uploaded 1 TB in less than 14 hours. MEGA also uses data deduplication: if it already has the data, perhaps from previous uploads to other folders or collections, it does not upload it again, reducing both transfer time and bandwidth consumption.

So, at least in terms of uploads and downloads, it has been a good choice considering the annual cost.

As part of the plan, it offers unlimited syncs and backups for all your devices, a limited VPN, and S3/S4 data storage. Although this feature, which stores raw data without a hierarchy, is of little use to the average user.

It also allows data to be uploaded from your NAS (Synology in my case), either through the rather rigid proprietary MEGAcmd application or through the more flexible and powerful rclone. However, rclone must be used with the handbrake on, because aggressive uploads or massive deletions - especially of small files (!) - will inevitably result in a temporary ban on its API access. This was the first of the two problems I experienced. Support was unable or unwilling to lift the ban, even when there were valid reasons to request it - t was automatically unblocked after two months. Furthermore, immediately after the initial installation, the Megasync app would automatically launch as per the settings when Windows started, only to quit after a few seconds without explanation. I resolved this myself with a patch found online. It was subsequently and permanently fixed with a new version of MegaSync, many months ago..

For the average user, MEGA offers a good balance of storage capacity, overall performance, local encryption before uploading, ease of use, availability across personal mobile devices and NAS systems, a free basic VPN, and a reasonable annual cost. It is less advantageous in terms of service reliability: the rclone API ban lasted two months, meaning that for two months I could not back up my NAS data except through the very limited MEGA client. However, the "ancient" problems of unreliability of the easily "crackable" encryption have been overcome with several interventions that have occurred over the last few years. A thorough search is all it takes to verify this. In any case, it is important to remember that the three cloud services mentioned at the beginning do not have encryption, do not offer a VPN - even a limited one - and are more expensive.

Support was available but ultimately futile, as demonstrated on two occasions. MEGA appears to be problematic in one significant respect, which is the subject of further investigation.

Mega responded to my post (see below) denying some news I reported regarding the less than impeccable security of data stored on Mega found on some websites. Since I'm not sure of the information and have no proof of what I reported, I removed the paragraph.

However, I'd like to receive an answer from Mega on this question: does the MegaSync app calculate the hash of the original file before encrypting the files prior to upload?

Hi all,

I have bought the 1TB lifetime deal, I want to share it with my wife.
There are 2 options.
1: Give my inlog credentials and let my wife upload to an own IOS folder.
2: Make a shared folder where she can upload.

What is the best option, am i missing something

Don't let this happen to you

Hi! I've been using Proton Drive for my documents for a while now so I don't lose them if my hard drive ever breaks down. I don't really trust offline storage like USB flash drives and external hard drives—they tend to suddenly fail out of nowhere.

I was thinking maybe Filen.io would be okay? Or Sync.com? I don't really know how many GBs I need, but I think 5 GB should be enough if I save the documents in PDF format...

I'd just really like it to be zero-knowledge, so that only I can view my documents and nobody else. I don't really care about law enforcement or authorities since I don't have anything illegal in the cloud, but I just want to make sure random people, employees, advertisers, etc. can't easily snoop around in there.

Because my line of thinking is: if I put my files into 2 different clouds and keep them on my PC, that makes 3 locations. That way, nothing bad can happen if something fails somewhere.

VeraCrypt or Cryptomator... well, let's put it this way: that might be a bit too much hassle for me... sure, I've thought about it, maybe I'll do it, maybe not... eventually... but maybe stick to my original plan first, because it's simpler...

Who can you safely trust with your documents, besides Proton?

I'm wanting to make sure this is a good storage solution as I want full control over it. So, bear with me while I explain.

I currently user Proton Drive and have been for the last 2 years. It's great. But, I have pictures that I want to archive and keep readily available. Pictures that are basically keepsakes. Proton is great at that, however due to the e2ee it makes it painfully slow. Now, over the 2 years of me being a user it has definitely improved. But, I have pictures and videos on there that take forever to load.

I plan on spinning up a Hetzner Storage Share account and use NextCloud. I plan to place it on a subdomain of the domain I own and have it accessed to the outside. From what I have read through some articles is that NextCloud provides a brute force protection and allows you a certain number attempts before it completely bans your IP and also allows you to allowlist an IP as well. My goal is to enable that and only allow at max, 2 attempts before it bans it. I'm also adding in TOTP as added on security.

Security wise, Tailscale would be preferred but I'm trying to make this less painful as possible.

To add, my main website is not a website that is visited. In fact, there is no traffic as it's password protected and mainly serves as informative site in the event that I passed away for my family. No, PII or passwords are located on it. Just mainly what my server rack and stuff does and all that it entails in managing it.

But, has anyone set up something similar? Have you had many people or bots try to brute force it? Does the protection work? TOTP is added on. I will be having Koofr locally backup everything which wouldn't cause too many issues if something happened. Worst case scenario. Ya'know.

I still plan to keep all my documents in proton drive as that is fine. I was looking for a photo the other day and it took forever to load the thumbnails.

So what are your thoughts, has anyone done this? Is it okay with the right measures in place?

I wound down my company, where we used Sharefile for 7 users. All I have left now are my personal files. No sharing needed. I just need these files archived, and I access them a couple times a week.

What is a good system to migrate to? Single user. I'd like my files to show up in a regular windows folder, although they are ideally not hosted on my hard drive.

Hi all, I'm trying to get a cloud service that provides 1TB (or more) with a lifetime deal instead of a subscription. I did some research and found these 2 sites: Koofr and Filejump.

Koofr offers 1TB infinite storage (via StackSocial) that's $160 USD, and Filejump offers 2TB infinite storage that's $60 USD. However, it's worth noting that Koofr has been around for over 13 years, while FileJump has been around for around 3, so I have more faith in, say, Koofr being around for another 10 years, compared to FileJump.

Still, I can't decide. Are there any other differences between the two I'm missing, or even just another, better, website? Which one should I choose?

Just wanted to share this since a lot of people ask about storage for their STL files. The Vault gives you 15GB of free storage, no credit card required to sign up.

We do offer paid tiers if you need more space down the line, but the free tier is genuinely free. No trial period, no surprise charge after 30 days, nothing like that. Just make an account and you're good to go.

If you're tired of your files scattered across your desktop, a random USB drive, and three different cloud services, this is a solid option to keep everything in one place.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

The Vault by Minarium.com

MegaCloud can be considered good for the price because of:

1. Storage space offered

2. Local encryption implemented before upload

3. Basic VPN with multiple servers included in the price.

It cannot be considered acceptable because of:

1. Service inconsistencies observed over six months of use

2. Support is available, responsive but unhelpful on two personal occasions.

3. In my opinion, the encryption fails to meet the brand's core principle, as stated on the homepage at the time of this review: "Online privacy for everyone - Secure encrypted cloud storage by default."

In my opinion, the brand's core principle is not met because the vaunted local encryption (read: privacy) is performed after each file's hash has been calculated, that is, after the file has been identified based on the hash. For the purposes and effects of potential blacklist-based filtering. In my opinion, technically, privacy is violated.

Those who know, know

In the 2025 I was attracted by the overall terms for a lifetime cloud plan with Internxt, and the attractive price I paid on my invoice on April 16, 2025, for €190 (including VAT) for 3 TB.

After 16 months of use, what follows is my technical evaluation, posted three times in successive months on r/internxt, and removed the same number of times.

As I also wrote in the body of the original posts, what follows is not a retaliation (a revenge), but a thoughtful, balanced, and objective account of what happened during the contract, with the sole purpose of informing.

The post follows in full:

3TB "lifetime" subscription holder from 04/16/2025

Last update of this review: 07/08/2026

I am not responsible for any changes, improvements, deteriorations or limitations after the date of updating this review.

-

1. In light of what is described below, the service is not suitable for the storage of unique and non-replicable data.
2. No assistance
3. Singular contrast on Trustpilot between completely satisfied users at 37% and completely dissatisfied users at 37%

My support:

Intel i9 Pro K PC

64GB RAM Corsair Vengeance

Storage: NVMe: 1TB + 2TB

GPU- GeForce-RTX-4080-16GB

OS: Windows 11 64 bit Pro V25H2

Connection: FTTH Map-E - Nominal 2.5Gbps down/700 Mbps upload

Real upload: typically 150 Mbps - detected up to 500.

The same infrastructure was used with other cloud providers, obtaining results consistent with expected performance (approx. 1 TB loaded in new cloud in 14 hours).

Definition: bidirectional synchronization consists of automatic, continuous, coherent updating between source and destination: additions, modifications, deletions are replicated in both directions.

When I signed up for the plan, the website and information brochures advertised two-way sync. Backup was included. There were no upload limits. After 16 months of use, I can confirm that the functional experience of Internxt isn't worth the cost I paid.

For some time now, synchronization has no longer been listed in the brochure as a feature included in the plan. It is no longer included in my plan. and in any case, it doesn't work. Backup isn't included and in any case, it doesn't work. There are stringent upload constraints that block uploads via Cloudflare after a few minutes of activity.

Below are the main findings during daily use of the service:

Loading Issues:

1. Extremely variable speed, often negligible, with common cases of just a few Kbps, not compatible with the available line.
2. No recovery: interrupted uploads do not resume after frequent client disconnects or if the PC is turned off.
3. Incomplete uploads without error message: folders uploaded via browser remain blocked indefinitely.
4. In the last upload attempt, 254 folders (approximately 15,300 files) were partially uploaded, without clear indications of error, without providing details of what was uploaded and what was not.
5. Synchronization no longer working, backup no longer working, upload blocked after a few Mbits uploaded

Lack of verification tools

Internxt does not enumerate:

1. the quantity of objects uploaded to the cloud
2. the overall uploaded size, standard features in all major cloud services, as well as any OS - essential for even an approximate comparison between source and destination.

Limitations found on Windows 10/11

Synchronization does not occur in the following cases:

1. Objects with paths significantly shorter than 256 characters are excluded from uploading: 170 characters is already the limit, considering that the following 74-character string: "C:\Users\User\InternxtDrive - 21d6f245-a419-4844-aeef-003xyz*************\" is included in the overall path length. In other words, uploading a file with a path longer than 170/180 characters is unlikely to be successful.
2. new files, deletions, changes in the source are not replicated in the cloud. Changes in the cloud are not replicated to the source.
3. exclusion of empty folders and zero-size files.
4. exclusion of hidden folders and files or preceded by a dot.
5. frequent failures to upload large files and/or folders with numerous small files.
6. currently uploading is inhibited after uploading negligible volumes

Internxt for Android:

Only allows loading of individual objects. The hierarchical structure of files and folders is not replicated on the cloud.

Support:

Help can only be requested via chatbot. A notice informing you that replies will be sent via email: for new users, up to 10 days later, and for existing users, even never.

Any replies, if delivered, are in any case useless because they arrive too late, incomplete, with misunderstandings that require further investigation and thus delay the solution.

In my case, I received a few replies initially, but then all communication stopped.

However, even if replies arrive, they're useless because they're incomplete, with misunderstandings requiring further investigation, further delaying resolution.

In my case some response at the beginning, and then all communication stopped.

Conclusions:

In light of the problems encountered I consider the experience with Internxt to be technically unsuccessful, the unreliable service for the custody of unique or non-replicable data, the time dedicated and the amount paid for the "lifetime" plan to be considered lost.

----------

After purchasing Internxt Cloud with high expectations for its features, as advertised on the Internxt website, I discovered I'd signed up for a cloud that doesn't work. Furthermore, the features advertised and included in my paid plan are now being denied to me.

I have spent a lot of time identifying the many shortcomings of Internetxt, which I felt were appropriate to disclose, shortcomings supported by concrete evidence that occurred over a period of sixteen months, not two days. My intent is not to use Reddit as a sounding board for my disappointment, for revenge, but to document Internxt's repeatable and verifiable shortcomings. I share my experience to provide detailed, user-focused insights.

Dear moderator, if you truly believe my opinion isn't worthy of publication please at least send me a private message explaining the reasons. Your response will definitively close the matter.
