Finding a cloud service is getting confusing. (lemmy.world)

Alright, I needed a cloud service that had a large free plan for me to use until my financial situation got better. The issue is:

Filen doesn't allow you to send links until you have a paid plan;
Nextcloud is... confusing. I can't find a way to do accounts on most clients and stuff.

Can someone give me some hints on Nextcloud or suggest me any other good cloud services?

Privacy is valuable, but its violation is free. If you want plenty of free cloud storage, you’ll get zero privacy. Some companies offer a free demo so you can test the product before purchasing. The storage space is just big enough for testing, not for storing your entire video collection.

If you’re short on cash, consider building a home NAS out of second hand hardware.
