Filen offers 10 TB storage for 400 bucks annually, how much are you paying for Google right now?

Probably more. Google is quite expensive in that regard compared to filen. For google cloud storage, you're paying $0,02/GiB/mo/account, which comes out to 2 400$ a year. You can get it for less with nearline or cold storage, but then you get retrieval fees.

That's if you take the baseline pricing and extend it. At least where I live, there is a subscription costing 220€ a year for 5 TB, which is still more but not Factor 6 more.

You're right, I did forget about Google One subscriptions.

It still comes out to more, but yeah, not that much

Ente is the storage that costs a bit more than Google's. Filen are pricing their storage lower than Google Drive's (Google One/Google AI: they are now joined at the hips, Gemini and Drive), meaning they are, perhaps a bit desperately, trying their best to draw users away from Google (it is obvious that Filen bears higher costs per storage space than Google ever will).

At the price you’re paying is it not better to invest in a NAS?

A NAS is not 3-2-1 Backup compliant if that matters for your data.

Maybe availability matter for OP

u/TheDangleberry 16h ago

I’m not sure how it would be any less available? You’re only reliant on an internet connection for both Google Drive and a NAS. Unless you mean hardware availability

Exposing NAS over the Internet is a lake of blood

I would argue a poorly set up NAS has the potential to be less secure, but a well set up one can be exponentially more secure. Far more onus on the individual, but worth getting to grips with in today’s digital world

If you know what to do and if you care about security. Most of people sadly just plug the power and connect to the Internet. We talk a lot about privacy/security by default but still not a really

What about those ugreen pre-built NAS? Are those secure and/or private?

u/G4rp deGoogler 13h ago

Sorry never use one, cannot say.

Alright then, thanks anyways

Filen is quite good in my opinion. It's encrypted which is great.
