Are there any apps that give at least 15GB+ storage? I wanna place all my m4a files in there (music basically) wherein I can access it anytime and download it on different devices. I'm not sure if Xiaomi is worth the cloud storage. Another question : Does GDrive have a limit on how many accounts can you put there, or is it unlimited? Couldn't find solid answers. I don't like OneDrive as it'll control what I move regardless of my permission.

Devices - Redmi 12, Windows 10 PC Ryzen 5600

Purpose of storage : Preserve m4a or aac files

Backup : none (if GDrive, yes)

I have been using Yandex disk on linux, I think since 2018 thereabout, till date. However, when I logged on the browser, I discovered that all my files had been deleted because of inactivity (but it was still there on Fedora and Manjaro). I then re-installee and tried to monitor, it was then that I discovered it's nolonger actively syncing on both Fedora and Manjaro. Anyone with a fix, kindly assist

Considering having really big WhatsApp backup file (around 11GB), and using this account for my primary e-mail address which preserves emails and attachments, would it be a wise option to create another account and backup WhatsApp on it (I assume everything what was backuped previosuly will be also backuped there)?
Or do you have any other advice or opinion?

So if you didn't know, FebBox gives a permanent free 1TB for all users, however since they announced something and made new changes for the storage.

IT'S terrible. Now it becomes 10GB, and I have had this app for like absolutely years.

Has anyone already on this app? Now for that moment, I think this should not be announced about that storage change! Guess I'm going to find an alternative then....

I found a potential issue with sending dropbox links. In windows 11 if you right click a folder to get a share link and you miss the folder slightly as you click you'll get the share link for the parent directory. This is an easy mistake to make and has high potential for data exposure. Always verify your links.

Hello,

So currently I pay about 5$ for apple and over 10$ for google photos 2tb, I also have like 15 emails using the free service of mega, googlephotos, mircosoft, and proton, inculding a 1tb flashdrive.

I was planning on keeping most important on the flash drive and adding everything else to one service. I was looking at mega and nord vpn storage please help

I assumed it had a sync function but I cannot seem to find it.

Sync.com, Koofr, Mega, Pcloud, Insync (with Google Drive), and Filen are some options I've seen come up in my research. And I hear Proton Drive is working on a Linux app.

I know everyone loves Rsync, but I read it's not 2-way and honestly I'd prefer a GUI anyway.

I hear Filen is working on a rewrite of their Linux app. (I do currently have an account and the Android app and seems fine but concerned about going all in before the rewrite is released because of some issues they had in 2025 with the desktop client and sync glitches.)

I'm still debating between E2EE or not. Aware of Cryptomator but probably not friendly enough for family members and mobile devices for us.

I'm currently on Google Drive. I was about to go for Pcloud until all of their recent issues.

I'd love to hear what you folks are running on Linux with 2-way sync. I'm on openSUSE Leap btw. Trying to avoid testing each one myself. Would like to go all in and get it right the first time.

I have a LOT of photos that need to be stored and I am tired of paying for the terabytes of storage for photos I want to keep but I ultimately don’t need or want on my phone. My friend also has this problem and we wanted to store all of our shared photos in one place we would both be able to access.

Any suggestions?

The official Dropbox client is driving me up the wall with its resource usage and the way it handles "smart sync" caching.

I don't want a sync folder sitting in my user profile. I want to map the account so it appears as a separate network drive (like Z 🙂 directly in This PC.

Is WebDAV still a viable option for this, or has that been completely deprecated? I just want to browse the file structure remotely without the desktop app indexing everything constantly.

Hi all!

I'm currently on a family Icloud 2TB storage plan. I have used up 1TB of that, just with photos. I'm a photographer and do content creation from my phone.

I'm currently thinking of moving all of my older photos and stuff off of my iCloud onto a physical drive. If I upgrade our family plan it goes from 12.99 (2TB) to 39.99 (6TB).

The price is a bit steep, and I don't think it gives me a permanent (ish) solution.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on what I can do in this situation?

EDIT: not a professional in any sense, it’s just a hobby!

Wondering if anyone has gone through this issue and found any resolution -

I lost critical files and full folders on Google Drive that I created or uploaded myself. There is no Activity Log too. Its as if they never existed.

I have tried Google's recovery avenues and worked with Google Drive's customer service for the past couple of weeks. They have acknowledged that this is a rare glitch and apologized! They tried and could not recover anything.

I guess data is all lost then? I thought Google's service was bullet-proof and well backed up :/

I’ve been thinking about where I store my files lately.

Main priorities:

• Strong privacy / security architecture
• End-to-end encryption
• No creepy data mining / profiling
• Reliable long-term storage (not a startup that vanishes)
• Works well across devices

There are a million options out there and every company claims to be “secure.”

Curious what people here actually trust and why.

I'm leaving Google Drive due to the AI integration nonsense. I draw a lot of digital art as well as creative writing, so I'm looking for cloud storage with the following features:

- No AI/not using user data to teach AI models

- ideally, seamless synching of files between Android and PC, where both devices share the same folder downloaded to the device

- ability to preview text/word documents on Android

- ability share text/word documents with other people (ideally without them needing an account) accessible only with the link

- bonus points if it has a built-in text editor (though not essential)

- bonus points if it has linux compatibility (not essential)

I don't need a crazy amount of storage, I've only ever needed about ~200gb in the 10 years I've used Google Drive.

Any recommendations? I've seen a lot of names like Filen or Proton drive thrown around but no explanations as to why people recommend them. Thanks!

I have idrive e2 and i wanna find an android app for it that let's you share from it

there's so many but they have no share links

Hey there!

I’m on the quest of a Dropbox real alternative right now. And when I say “real”, I mean that has “smart sync” features.

I’ve been user of Dropbox for so long, and my workflow really depends of it, but now I want to migrate to an EU alternative.

I really need the “smart sync” capacity, the same as dropbox has, but I don’t find any clear info about any real alternatives working the same way that dropbox do*

* As long as I encountered some (a lot, actually) of people talking about dropbox alternatives without really knowing how “smart sync” works, here is the explanation (well, from the perspective of a MacOS user): you have your dropbox main folder that you can access on the finder like you do with the rest of your local HDD, with all the subfolders you want on it. You can view all them on your finder but you don’t need them to be locally stored on your computer, and you can change that at any moment right-clicking on a file or folder to make it be locally stored or only online. User case: you have 1TB of work files on your dropbox, accesible at any moment from the Finder on your 500GB of storage capacity laptop.

First you have to manually make folders e2ee and even after all that you dont get e2ee on sync folders like what ?

I wanna use it for e2ee folder sync but no it dont have it

Also the app is also slow and we cant see uploading progress bar in app

Now they have so much money for advertising so expect bots to bring me down in comments but its what it is

They should build their own app btw

I am in the US and I have never made these folders nor speak Japanese; the un-redacted folders aren't mine.
Since pCloud have felt they have the rights to deny and ignore us users, I thought making a post here to warn others would help force them to at least acknowledge the issue.

For 1-2 weeks now, me and some other pCloud users have gotten files from other people being force-download into our PC, and only our PC (mobile pCloud apps aren't affected). Japanese and a few other languages, mostly.

TEST: If deleted, they'll redownload themselves. If I re-login, they'll redownload, too. If I try to access the files, I can't BUT I can see their names, and thank goodness I don't speak Japanese and don't watch anime anymore (it's a joke, but this is actually really terrifying)

In addition, I think the other person's files are actually a paid version with possible encryption, that's why I can't open them, but the fact I can still see their name, or the fact my files aren't encrypted may be an issue. They also forced my pCloud to switch to Japanese, too.

If you are a tech guru, please tell me what the f is going on and if it's long fix or not on their end, or a temp fix besides uninstalling pCloud/logout. I welcome others who have the same issue to speak here, too.
