. . . what do you use instead? AlternativeTo mentions (among a few others) Cozy and Filen; anyone use either of these? Internxt got a pretty bad review from someone on Medium.

pcloud

I'm not much of a Cloud Drive user, but experimented with pcloud. It has a CLI tool and the ability to show up in the local filesystem, so you can browse through with your graphical filemanager: https://www.pcloud.com/download-free-online-cloud-file-storage.html

Free Tier

I only used the Free Tier without time limitation. Just logged in to the web client in browser to see if my files are still there, and I still have my files uploaded 2 years ago. I think Free Tier starts with 1 GB of free space and you can unlock more and more if you do some tasks like installing the CLI tool and such (I have 5 GB of space without time limtations). And the files are stored in European servers; not sure if I had a choice at account creation time or if this is tied to the location where I am.

If you want more space, you can either pay annually or a one time payment for lifetime access (500gb for 200 Euros, 2 TB for 400 Euros...).

@thingsiplay Last year they offered 20 GB free for every referral - both for you and the person you referred - because of their anniversary. And the features just make it such a compelling option as well. Such a great service.
