      You could use it with rclone, which offers encryption before uploading any files

        Doesn’t work for sharing with others though.

        Better to use something like mega, which always has e2ee, even with my lawyer who knows law but doesn’t know shit for tech

        Does it work with this endpoint?

      If I understand correctly, no. The data is encrypted during transport and stored encryptedly on their servers, but not in a way I would identify as end-to-end encryption.

        You can always use like https://cryptomator.org/ as an overlay

          But that then only acts as a a remote mirror, never offloaded data. And you cant use any of the sharing features, or editing in the cloud etc

    Unlimited storage for 1290 NOK, and they won’t tell you what that is in Euros, nor will they provide any channel besides email for feedback…

      Right now, it’s €122, but it fluctuates, which is why they will not show the price in euros.

      Also, they have a phone number on their site: https://jottacloud.com/en/contact

        Which I why I won’t pay for their services. I’m not going to pay exchange fees just to use a service.

          Ehm, you don’t pay any exchange fee. You pay the exchange rate at the point you purchase it. If the price is €22.51 in Euros at your time of purchase, that’s the price you’ll pay.

          It’s the same when a Norwegian purchases anything from another country, they pay the exchange rate only, not any exchange fees.

            They will say “no exchange fees, this is the exchange rate” and the exchange rate has the fees baked in.

    Yes!! They already have a CLI tool, which is awesome and actually “just works”, Microsoft seemingly can’t spend enough billions to make their software functional, resulting in the loss of lots of my schoolwork as a kid! But a neat GUI app will make Linux and alternative cloud providers all the more attractive to newbies, which is always good :D

    Another nice option for people who want more of a suite of tools is Nextcloud, which there are many public instances available hosted all over the world! You can also self-host it, and it has amazing app support across all devices (esp. their mobile apps, they are SO good + FOSS too)
