I had everything in my Dropbox: all my legal documents, my work-related files, my photos from the last 20 years, and things people sent me that I want to look at again when I'm 80… I literally had my life stored in it (and of course locally on two machines and a extra backup disk). I also accessed it almost daily via my phone and uploaded files from my phone.

So, I tested several services in the range of ~100 Euros a year with at least 1,5 Terabytes:

Jottacloud:

  • Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
  • Very good iOS App
  • Good service
  • Pricey (144 Euros for unlimited storage)
  • Downside for me: it doesn't automatically convert photo uploads from my phone to JPG and doesn't store them in a folder I choose – plus, the price is high.

Filen:

  • Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
  • Rough iOS App
  • Good service
  • Okay price (108 Euros for 2TB)
  • Downside for me: the rough iOS App didn't have a document upload with a scan function.

Nextcloud:

  • Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
  • Good iOS App
  • No dedicated service; it's Open Source, so some tinkering is required since you manage the hosting yourself.
  • Weird price range (Hetzner, the cheapest host by far, offers either 60 Euros for 1TB or 200 Euros for 5TB, nothing in between).
  • Downside for me: the price range.

kDrive:

  • Good Desktop Client (Win & Mac)
  • Very good iOS App
  • Amazing service, document editing included, etc.
  • Amazing price (60 Euros per year for 3TB)
  • Downside for me: none.

So, I chose kDrive, even though I'd love to use Nextcloud because it's Open Source and you can choose your own host. If I needed less than 1TB, I'd definitely choose Nextcloud.

And it should be said that all the services I tested offer free options with a few Gigabytes, if that's all you need.

kSuite Plus with the 1Tb offer and a free @ik.me mail. (in my language it says @me.me which I find funny)

Very happy with how kSuite integrates. Their import tool is also great. made me drop dropbox, onedrive, google drive
