What is the best cloud storage that gives a nice balance between features and privacy? I know you can manually encrypt files to use any provider, but I would prefer an open source E2EE for the sake of convenience.

Currently I have heard about the following:

proton
filen
sync
icedrive
pcloud

(Not including GDrive, Onedrive etc..)

I'm using pcloud because proton still doesn't have a way to share folders with other users, so I can't share my holiday photos with my partner there.

Pcloud works fine. The online interface is not the nicest, but it works.

Best for what requirements?

Lots of space? Ease of use? What devices? Web access? Etc

What's your favorite?

Proton because I get it basically for free under my existing Proton plan and because of Proton's stellar reputation.

That's not to say the apps aren't a bit buggy or missing (Linux doesn't have one) though.
