    Using them. Quite decent if a little bare bone. I wish for their notes app to be leaner to use but beside that it does exactly <hat it tells. Also, I quite like that, unlike so many clouds, I don’t have to move all my files and folders to a ‘filen’ folder, it can sync as many folders as one needs, even on external drives.

    If you can, wait for their Black Friday deals, prices are fine but they’re even better then. They also offer more options for lifetime plans if you’re more interested than in monthly sub.

    When creating you’re account, try to get an affiliate link before creating the account, as you will get double the free storage to begin with (20, instead of 10GB) and if you later decide to sub to/purchase a plan you have to keep that extra storage as a bonus. In case you need one, here is my affiliate link so you or anyone else using it can get the extra 10GB—and, nope, I won’t get anything out of it anymore, as I already did get all I was promised (up to 3x10GB more free storage), and yep, I did keep them l when I upgraded to one of their lifetime plan ;)

      Thanks! They claim to have zero knowledge and E2EE . . . does End 2 End Encryption mean that my data is encrypted “in transit” as well as “at rest?” Was never quite clear on that.

        Just in case, I wrote a little more in details about my impression, what I like and don’t like, on my blog (ignore the beginning of the post if you’re only interested in Filen itself) ;)

        that’s how I understand it.

        Data is encrypted during transfer and also on their cloud, using a key only you have access to.

        E2EE is only in-transit. They are the other end, so it can be decrypted there.

        But they also say it’s zero-knowledge, so it’s more than E2EE. They take the encrypted stream and write it directly to disk. Claiming E2EE is probably not what they wanted to convey.
