Dear #LazyWeb, I have a question about online storage services.

I'm part of a volunteer organisation that has a lot of people of extremely wide and varied technical abilities. A couple decades ago, one of the dearly departed members set up a #DropBox account for the group, and it has served them reasonably well over the years. But right now they're starting to feel like maybe it's a bit long in the tooth, and they aren't sure about paying for more storage if there are better choices.

Two of us are absolutely GenX Linux nerds, who will mount whatever it is via `rclone` and move on, but some members are in their 30s and some in their 80s and we need something that works for everyone. Bonus if we can use a company that doesn't kill people or forests or oceans to make their service work, although I realise that's often a vain hope these days.

Does anyone have good suggestions for a resilient file hosting/sharing service in 2025?

You can now connect your Box and #Dropbox accounts to #DeepResearch on #ChatGPT and pull data, which will be used by the #AI to conduct #research. Please do not do this - you will add to the unending pool of data being sucked out of creators and repurposed for profit - not your profit or benefit. #copyright #KM #research #legalresearch #education #copyright #intellectualproperty bleepingcomputer.com/news/arti

One of the features I really like that differentiates Sync from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox is their use of "zero-knowledge" authentication: they don't store your encryption key and cannot decrypt your files without your knowledge.

This policy does add some processing overhead. Years ago, I sometimes found file synchronization slow. But these days, I find it works transparently in the background as it should.

Don't know where to host your files in Europe? You can create an account at #pCloud (located in Switzerland) and benefit from up to 10 GB and more of a service that promises.

If you create it from the link below, you'll be helping me by adding 1 GB to my account and then you can do the same for yourself.

Apps are offered for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Many thanks to all those of you who replied to my question about Dropbox alternatives recently.

Many of you suggested Nextcloud, and having played around with it for a bit, I think it will do nicely.

So I am now embarking on the surprisingly complex project of moving everything I had in Dropbox to Nextcloud.

Thanks also to whoever it was who suggested Hetzner for hosting Nextcloud, which seems to work nicely.

Reducing my dependence on US tech, one service at a time.

So, given that the US is rapidly turning to shit, and that Dropbox is a US company, should I be worried that I'm keeping a lot of my data on Dropbox?

And if so, what's a good non-US alternative?

Needs to sync from a Linux desktop and a headless Linux server, have an Android app, and, ideally, an API.

Does pCloud do all those things?
