Mega
MEGA — Worth considering for encrypted storage and a generous free tier, but I would rank it below Proton and Sync.com for a buyer who wants the most polished, dependable all-purpose experience.
ChatGPT
Proton Drive
Proton Drive — Best mainstream choice for privacy-sensitive personal files because it encrypts file contents, filenames, and folder names end-to-end so Proton itself cannot read them, while now offering desktop and mobile apps plus basic encrypted document collaboration.
