    I use Mega and pay for the extra storage. It works on Linux (unlike Proton Drive) and has been great for me.

    I use a website called tosdr.org

    They have things to say about MEGA. I never used MEGA so I can’t say for myself but have a look and get your own conclusions

    Think it was because some of their code is open source and not all and it got a bad image since its encryption was broken a while back. I havent done research so take what I said with a grain of salt. Besides that pair it with cryptomator and its pretty good

    so far i’ve had good experiences with it, definitely not the most privacy focused option out there but they have a decent track record and its cheap. i think the usual advice of not putting anything super sensitive on a cloud storage service still holds, but for most things it should be fine

  • They had a huge problem with their encryption for a while but I believe it’s now fixed. Additionally, it was ran by Kim Dotcom, the guy who hosted Megadownload, until the New Zealand government took over. So it’s had faulty encryption and is hosted by a 14 eyes government agency. This is why privacy communities recommend alternative options to Mega.

    The correct answer is to assume their encryption doesn’t work and encrypt it yourself. This is true for all cloud storage. Use something like veracrypt.

    For me Mega is really great, 50gb for free and end to end encrypted
