Lifetime encrypted cloud storage.

Cloud storage options go beyond Google and Apple, and you really should consider them.

For me, I spent over a decade using Google Drive and thus Photos and didn’t think much about changing until I ran out of space.

After a couple of years of paying, I actually started to do some research and moved to Proton Drive, as I was using the fabulous Proton Email anyway.

But something made me change, and that something is Filen.

So why should you consider switching or combining your cloud storage with Filen?

I will help you today, as I try to do in all my writing.

1. Lifetime Payment Option

This was a nice surprise for sure.

My most important documents, files, and photos add up to around 60 GB currently. Yes, there are other files that I could do with backing up such as 3D printing files, but those are so large that I do manual, at home backups instead.
