Excellent article. That’s why I use OSS first and foremost as they don’t have the incentive to bring in € instead they are more focused on a quality product.

Filen is good. Works like a charm. Back in the days I got their pay once for 100GB of storage package and am very happy about it. Looks like they have the starter 100GB lifetime available still i.e. pay only once.

That’s Firefox’s fault not the plugins. They don’t allow any plugin to run in internal pages.

Not getting updates doesn’t make any app inherently bad. Possible bugs just won’t get fixed. If an app is feature complete and everything works as they should there’s no need to update it.

Are these available on f-droid already?
