I keep getting asked this (repeatedly).

" What about Proton VPN? I think they are in Europe."

A division of Proton is now a US-based company. Particularly, Proton Wallet. Their Terms of Services, also goes into lengths concerning Us Laws and Us Customers. It goes beyond just the CEO's support for fascism leadership (Donald Trump).

Naturally, making this list is not easy. These are two types of companies I avoided in making my list.

1) Those who actually fall under US-jurisdiction because they are based or owned by a company in the USA.

More than often, I will stumble over a company that appears to be outside the USA, but later find they are owned by another corporation based inside the USA, and so they do fall under US-jurisdiction.

2) Those who voluntarily give up their sovereignty to the United States. The 2nd type, who voluntarily gives up their sovereignty in the way of US jurisdiction, have whole sections of their terms concerning US Laws and US based customers. If a fascist government says jump, these people will ask, how high?!

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?

OK masto-geeks. My kids keep filling up my 200GB google cloud storage, and since I've got an empty 5TB disk connected to my server that seems, like, dumb.

So which self-hosted foss cloud storage can you recommend?

It should feature an easy to use android app - and run on ubuntu.

New research reveals critical vulnerabilities in major end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) cloud storage services like Sync, pCloud, Icedrive, and Seafile, enabling malicious servers to access and tamper with user data. The study highlights the challenges of achieving true E2EE security in cloud storage.

💾✨ Not a fan of the big players in the cloud business?

With pCloud, your data is safe and accessible everywhere! Offering up to 2 TB of storage and lifetime plans, pCloud provides ultimate flexibility and privacy through client-side encryption.

Perfect for those who want to manage their files securely and easily! 🔒🌍

What's your favorite cloud storage solution?

If I were looking to #DeGoogle my life; how do people rate (paid-for) @protonprivacy services (calendar/mail/drive)?

My main concerns are #security and #privacy.

Please ONLY share your opinions on #Proton.

If you _insist_ on sharing other opinions, I only want to hear them if they pertain to
#FullyManaged #CloudStorage with #E2EE that is reasonably priced.

I will accept absolutely no requirement to self-host or self-maintain, no matter how 'easy' you think it is. I have money, not time.

Continued thread

I highly prefer companies *explicitly* committed to privacy and not participating in any form of government surveillance. It would be great if they operate somewhere with excellent privacy protections (so...not the US or UK, that's for damn sure)

I don't have super sensitive data, so I accept some privacy risks. I just don't have any interest in putting my whole life on display.
