What do you use for cloud storage and why? in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one
[–] hayhay@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

How do you like Filen so far? I tried it out with a few directories and it felt very snappy. Plus, the .fileignore feature is phenomenal and I wish more providers would do it!

I heard when filen was first launched there were some issues with their encryption and some file loss, do you happen to know if this has largely been fixed? Thanks!

What do you use for cloud storage and why? (programming.dev)
 

I've been wanting to move away from Dropbox for a long while, but I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement. Dropbox has always been super convenient and has just worked for me.

I've tried Tresoit but the low link sharing limits (2gb) and 10gb limit for files is somewhat of a deal breaker for me. I've been interested in Proton Drive for a while, but until their mac app is ready it's unusable for me.

I've also tried self-hosting a nextcloud instance (multiple times) but I've always just had too many issues with it. It's been inconsistent in actually backing up files from my mac, I've had so many file conflicts, etc. I have a truenas scale server, so if there are other self-hosted methods I should try let me know.

Currently, I'm looking at filen and sync.com, but I've heard both have their issues so I'm curious to hear everyones thoughts on them as well.

Thanks!

Microsoft accused of malware-like tactics, again, in attempt to push users onto Bing in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Yeah I’ve had similar experiences with Microsoft switching my currency out of nowhere and it was weird…

Recently been using Brave Search but in general I feel like there just aren’t any good search engines anymore?

It’s wild because Bing is generally quite good now, but I switched away from it recently because it kept trying to advertise edge…

Meanwhile edge tries to advertise “pay later” schemes and really gets in your face about bing…
