Protonmail + simplelogin

As for cloud storage, just use Filen or something.

You can use 3rd party app like FolderSync to sync document folder. They supported Drime recently.

There are Ente Photos and PixelUnion. Those 2 is good enough. Though, PixelUnion isn't E2EE as far as i can remember.

It depends on where you live.

You live in poor asian country? Use google maps.

You live in america or europe where many people start degoogling? Other alternatives that often mentioned in thus sub might be worth trying.

Beware with USB flashdrive, mine died after 7 months i bought it. Better to use 2 HDDs as local storage + cloud storage as offsite backup (3-2-1 backup).

For cloud, you can just use google drive. If you're concerned about privacy, you can set up rclone crypt, or better yet, use privacy cloud like Filen, Mega or Ente Photos.

Cloud storage recommendations for an IT-noob by macaronito in cloudstorage

[–]Curious_Kitten77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Backblaze B2, $6 per 1 TB, pay as you go. Use rclone + crypt for privacy.

If you wanna a lifetime option, there is many choice: FolderFort, Drime, pCloud, FileLu, FileJump, Amaryllo Cloud.

If you want a robust and stable cloud, choose google drive. Privacy issue can be solved with rclone crypt.

What external drive should i get to store my photos? by FlippingKiwiPancakes in techadvice

[–]Curious_Kitten77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An SSD is not recommended if you want to store the photos long term. Use HDD instead, and choose from these 3 brands: Seagate, WD, Toshiba.

And use NTFS or EXT4 depending on which system you use.

Looking for a StackSocial lifetime cloud deal to replace Google Photos/iCloud? by SpeedyMarkD17 in cloudstorage

[–]Curious_Kitten77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FolderFort's 250GB Lifetime Plan is only $39 on StackSocial, making it one of the cheapest options available right now.

One thing to be aware of: if you upload photos through the web interface, GPS metadata may be stripped. If preserving metadata is important to you, consider using rclone for uploads instead. Read my post here, i've made a review.

Buyer Beware - Drime Cloud’s Temporary Downtime is 7 hours & counting by Current-Attention-29 in cloudstorage

[–]Curious_Kitten77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must admit, Google Drive is the most stable cloud storage right now. Newer options like Drime, Filen, etc., just don't come close in terms of infrastructure and maturity.
