Question about personal cloud storage.
I've been using dropbox for years but I'd like to switch to a non-US alternative.

Koofr vs pCloud for reliable backup and sync advice?

@joinin @NickEast_IndieWriter I use Sync, and pay for 2 Tb, but they have a free tier, similar to DropBox. Sync is based in Canada, with CA data privacy regs, and I understand that its servers are in Alberta. But I am not a cyber security maven, so others may have more info.

@NickEast_IndieWriter pcloud has a European server choice and an interesting one time pricing. I'm using it, it has a virtual drive option and a backup app.
