Due to Apple pulling ADP from uk consumers I think it would be fitting for us to discuss and suggest alternatives that our uk members could use and switch to.

    If you don’t want to self-host, consider Proton Drive, ente.io, or crypt.ee.

    I use Proton Drive; it’s not perfect, but Proton has been around for 10 years. ente.io seems promising, but they haven’t been around for long enough. crypt.ee seems fine, but it has the same problem as ente.io, and I don’t like their interface(Edit: crypt.ee has been around for 8 year’s).

    If none of the above options suit you, maybe try sync.com; they claim to encrypt all their files with end-to-end encryption.

    Filen.io’s offer of cheap lifetime plans on Black Friday this raises a red flag for me, as lifetime plans are not a sustainable business model.

    Both proton, ente.io and crypt.ee have been on podcasts I would listen to those before deciding what to go with.

      Cryptee started in 2017, so around 8 years, I think it can be said that the are not new commers. It’s not as old as Proton of course but yeah I think you can not say they haven’t been around for long enough. ente started in 2020 so it’s been 5 years I think it’s starting to be fair to assume they can be sustainable for the comming years but it’s still relatively new of course.

          Yes ente is still new and haven’t released v1 yet but they are doing awesome work and I’m currently trying it, I hope they will sustain well and keep there mission’s core for the years to come !

        If you’re on mac or windows i think the storage part is fine. But otherwise yes. In my opinion proton is the best alternative if you don’t want to selfhost.
