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?

If it's free, you're the product.

I'm running into the same issue as I move away from American companies. It's not a coincidence that better privacy laws, often mean less free stuff.

To be fair, on the modern internet, if it's paid, you're also the product.

That's one of the reasons I don't trust subscription services on principle without root access to their servers, you can not guarantee you're actually getting what you are paying them for once you are paying them for.
