    Can anyone recommend a Cloud storage service preferably in the EU.

    I’ve had a good look on reddit, there seems to be a lot of choice, many aren’t end to end encrypted for example storing photos this feels like a must from a privacy perspective, I know a lot say self host but I’d have no idea where to start.

    Currently using zeitkapsl for my photo’s, they are an Austrian based company.

    I have the Proton suite, which includes a VPN, mail, drive etc. Realistically I’m seeking to only use a few of Proton’s products as I don’t want to rely on one service incase I lose my data etc.

    There’s a good website here with alternatives - https://euroalternative.eu

    & https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jspnlb/reliable_cloud_storage_that_i_can_migrate_to_and/

    Thank you!

    For EU-based, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, here are the strongest options beyond what you’re already using:

    Tresorit (Switzerland) : Probably the gold standard for E2EE. Zero-knowledge, Swiss/EU data residency, excellent for both file sync and secure sharing. More expensive than competitors but very polished and audited.

    Filen (Germany) : Zero-knowledge E2EE by default, generous free tier (10GB), very competitive pricing on paid plans, and lifetime plans available. Open-source clients. Popular on the privacy subreddits as a Proton Drive alternative.

    Internxt (Spain) : Open-source, zero-knowledge E2EE, GDPR-based. Offers storage plus a few extra privacy tools. Lifetime plans available. Younger company, so weigh that against the price.

    pCloud (Switzerland, registered in EU) : Massive caveat: E2EE is not default. It’s a paid add-on called “pCloud Crypto.” Without it your files are encrypted at rest but not zero-knowledge. The draw is genuine lifetime plans, which can be cost-effective over years if you trust their longevity.

    @JAC this is a good question and certainly one that will trigger debate. Nord has a good track record for privacy with a no log policy, and has an independent audit to certify this as fact. They also have the most number of servers scattered around the globe and also pioneered NordLynx which is based on the their existing Wireguard protocol. I suspect much of their popularity comes down to their marketing as you suggest with YouTube influencers and affiliate links, although they aren’t the only brand leveraging this area.

    @JAC those speeds are indeed possible over light as a transport medium (if you consider the speed) but I can’t comprehend the distance quoted. If you happen to encounter a solid obstacle, the beam is either absorbed, or deflected meaning the data never arrives.

    @phenomlab I will have to test this out in my virtual environment. I have an Arch KDE Plasma install in virtualbox that I am testing a bunch of things out before I actually wipe the hard drive and install linux. I am currently in the process of copying my Arch test web server over to virtualbox on linux to make sure that it works. This is the virtual server that I test updates on before updating the production server. I can’t remember the error I was getting but I think it had to do with the network device. That was on the virtualbox side. So the cloud storage will be the next thing that I test.

    @phenomlab this looks very nice as well. It is nice that they keep the KDE Neon a rolling release so you will get those updated apps even though Ubuntu isn’t a rolling release. Is it a rolling distro? KDE neon is rolling for KDE software. The Ubuntu base OS is not, but certain packages will be updated as needed to support KDE software requiring newer library versions than what is provided by Ubuntu. Apps from the main repositories are not rolling either, and therefore can be up to two years old. Users are encouraged not to use them, and to instead get apps from Snap or Flatpak using KDE’s Discover app store. In neon, Discover is set up to only show apps from these sources, filtering out apps from the repositories.
