Use filen. It's the best
Filen is really good. It's had teething problems but they are getting smoothed out. All their apps are open source (the Android app can be installed direct from GitHub via Obtanium if you don't want to use G Play) and nothing leaves your device(s) without being encrypted. They have a free tier too if you just want to try it out before committing.
Also a lifetime payment option!!!! No subscription!!!! Filen is awesome!
Filen.io, go for it
Looks good for files, but if you want total replacement of icloud/google/ms services such as contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, and so much more, Nextcloud is best in class.
+1 for filen.
Are there any catches to the lifetime pricing options?
There isn't. There shouldn't be in future too. It's like pcloud but more secure.
Thanx, I didn't know this one, I am currently using pcloud to sync automatically my photos but filen does it too and better and without trackers.
Also, it has better cloud storage servers. And a better interface than pcloud.
Yes, I love their interface, I tested it and I already removed pcloud for them because I was only using it to sync my photos.
