They offer 5GB of storage in their free plan, which is enough for my use case of storing important files while my other files are backed up in my little self-hosted Nextcloud. (so should my Nextcloud instance go bad, my important files are still in the cloud!)
They are based in Norway, and importantly, they have a really easy to use Linux client, which you don’t often see with cloud storage providers. On Linux, you can use their simple CLI tool to select which folders to backup and everything is done in the background, it’s awesome! They also offer a Windows and macOS client as well if you stick with the corporate overlords (perhaps there is software that you need for professional workflows, idk), but I haven’t tested those out.
it’s not. So if that’s important to you, you’re better off with Filen or Proton Drive.
Is it a difference in privacy/security between Filen or Proton Drive and Jottacloud + local encryption before the files are uploaded?
I see thanks. I think it should be important for everyone, because companies will use your private data to get money (sell them to data brokers, advertise based on the data, etc) and governments may change and may use your data against you in the future, USA is a good example of how things can get very wrong real fast.
The main reason I like Jottacloud is because it has a good Linux client. I used to use pCloud (which also has EU based hosting) but it didn’t have a Linux client at the time. They do now, which is pretty neat!
My threat model is not super high (for cloud storage at least) since I just store my silly code projects and a few other bits in the cloud. It’s good to have options though, and for sure, E2E services will always be more secure and private. More options, the better!
