I am not the largest fan but other than some much pricier options, this is only one I could reliably give to an average user and feel halfway decent they would figure it out.Overview: Cryptomator makes your cloud storage trustworthy. For consumers, Mega is about as good as it gets and is foolproof, unlike some other solutions like Nextcloud, where the admin could make mistakes and not have E2E enabled or some providers do not even provide E2E until you purchase certain level package. There are other providers that do server-side encryption and maybe better than big tech, but you still do not control your data. Others are much easier from big tech, but if you are looking to secure your data, they are not a fit for you. It should be more like three stars, but part of what I do is test different solutions, and this gets 5 for being at least usable in a field that is horrific. Honestly, I would score it lower, but file storage for consumers that is truly end to end encrypted without using another application and can be used on all major platforms is very empty. When dealing with secure systems, they may not have software to this if not for built-in items Mega has. It also has built-in functionality to play music, videos, view photos, or even PDFs and text files. It could be better, but it is challenging to have end-to-end encryption, have applications for every platform, even smaller ones, and maintain user-friendlier features like search, which you do not take for granted when you start to deal with end to end encryption. Such services are likely to be around much longer than Mega, judging by how things have been going with it so far, but that's just my guess. You can easily pair it up with excellent and low cost services like pCloud (Switzerland) and (Germany), or any other sync service of your choice. Cryptomator is specifically designed to give you privacy in the cloud and its free and open source. However, if you want to have a low price for lots of storage AND have encryption, a good choice is using a non-encrypted service together with Cryptomator, which is an open source encryption app for Linux, Mac and Windows and which lets you set different passwords for different folders (Use a password manager like KeePass to generate and remember them).
