Proton Drive vs. NextCloud vs. Filen for cloud storage (lemmy.zip)

So I need some kind of cloud storage for work, however I want to move away from Google Drive (obviously). While I started my deGoogling journey by switching to Proton Unlimited, I am now looking to decentralize services from Proton, especially Proton Drive.

I have already tried the "put it on a hard drive and carry it around" route and unfortunately, it is just not working.

So the two Drive alternatives I have found are NextCloud and Filen. I would love to hear people's opinions on each (good and bad), and I am also open to any other suggestions.

i didn't know that Mega had released a FOSS client.

it gives independent researchers a chance to check the behaviour

hasn't been audited, though.

why is MEga better than Cryptomator?

I don't know if it has been audited or not to be honest but I know the source code is available on the Mega website.

I have not come across Cryptomator but that is now something I am definitely going to look into, I am always doing an audit on software I use and always looking to see what else is out there. Just because I use Mega at the moment doesn't mean that is what I will be using in a year from now etc
