Why almost no one recommending myKsuite from infomaniak? I see always Tuta, Proton, Ente, self hosting etc. Never seen myKsuite which is less than 2 usd per month per 1TB cloud storage.

What is wrong about them?

I asked the same question on Reddit and my post was instantly removed

I'd ask the same, to me they work so great, and they have a very green conscience

Seems their top brass have a weird tendency to make public antiprivacy statements:

Criticisms and controversies

Infomaniak has been criticized for controversial statements made in a Linkedin post by founder Boris Siegenthaler, where they opposed online anonymity, criticized free privacy services, and argued that requiring ID to use online services and mass metadata collection is acceptable. On TV and Radio, Communication Manager, Thomas Jacobsen, criticized the stance of privacy companies who publicly opposed a Swiss surveillance law, stating that their advocacy for online anonymity would "prevent justice from doing its work".

Justice is when two faced governments can surveil political opponents or climate and human rights activists 24/7.

I’ve been using Infomaniak products for the the last few years and I’m very happy with them.

My only complaint is that kDrive isn’t available as a Flatpak and that Linux is a bit of a second zone client to them.

They also have a really good reputation regarding social and ecological behavior.

Their datacenters are heating buildings in my city.

I felt weird about some of their practices, e.g., making so-called “Whois Privacy,” which hides your personal data in RDAP requests, a paid extra feature when you register or move a domain to them (basically making you pay them to not dox you).

I never spend time too look deeper into their service at that time, as I was only looking for a domain registrar. Their apps are available on F-Droid which is cool.

I would like to test before paying, but since I am in Brazil, I cannot test. I will not pay without knowing the product first..

This is the exact reason I left Kdrive.

Ok that is the strongest point against this service.

Still it wins in terms of price / space.

When its to good to be true, it usually is. Probably not sustainable and will shut down eventually.

I remember the initial boom of free or cheap clouds, most are gone. Thankfully I didn't keep anything important that wasn't already backed up

Lol, we'll give you privacy if you deanonymize yourself with payment info

Fastmail won out, Infomaniak was my second choice.

I host my own Nextcloud so I only needed email.

They are better than Proton anyway. It also works perfectly fine with Appimage.

I have tried Infomaniak. Extremely hard to understand their control panel! Very high learning curve. But that has maybe changed since last time I had a subscription (before the pandemic).

Now I use Posteo and I love it.

Appimage is fine but it’s annoying to have to download the Appimage for every update instead of just using your software center with a Flatpak.

First world problem though because kDrive is great for me otherwise.
