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

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.

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

But this company has 32 years history

Oh yeah?! Which company?

Infomaniak

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.

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

Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works on 21 Jun 21:29 collapse

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.

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.

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.

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

p3l@piefed.zip on 21 Jun 13:39 next collapse

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..

Kkk2237pl@lemmy.world on 21 Jun 13:46 collapse

I can recommend. They have 30 days free trial, but so far Im satisfied

Fastmail won out, Infomaniak was my second choice.

I host my own Nextcloud so I only needed email.

The price point likely reflects a trade-off in their encryption architecture or jurisdiction, as Infomaniak operates from Switzerland but must comply with local banking regulations that often require access to customer data. This creates a tension between their low cost and the strict privacy guarantees expected from Swiss-based providers, unlike fully self-hosted or decentralized alternatives.

Kkk2237pl@lemmy.world on 21 Jun 18:37 collapse

What do you recommend from decentralized services?

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.
