I use windscribe VPN and I use sync.com. What other softwares do you have a Canadian alternative for?

I went with Sync.com because I needed something affordable quickly, but it is awful. I don't know much about the behind-the-scenes stuff but the everything about the front end feels like it was made by amateurs. You can't even search for files on the browser; you only have the ability to filter within the folder.

    You can search in the app. Just tried it.

    I hadn't searched before. I had the service, I use it for storage (30G of stuff) but I'm not a heavy user. I moved from apple to grapheneOS.

    I like them.

    The app, yes, but not web, which is what I need to use on Linux because they don't even have an API for third-party clients.

    The app has its problems too. Like no video thumbnails, can't filter in folder (lol), auto camera backup backs up all images in the DCIM folder and not the DCIM/Camera.

    I'm happy that you like the service, but it's definitely not for me.
