Re the article and PCloud, the way the crypto folder works is that you get a mapped PCloud drive similar to OneDrive, DropBox, etc., and within there you get a "Crypto Folder". When you try and access that, it's empty. You then unlock it. However the article is wrong in that you are not prompted every time. You are prompted until it locks again, and you are in control of whether it locks automatically or not. I've used PCloud for years now. I only unlock my Crypto when I need files from inside it, keep it unlocked and accessible for as long as I need, then lock it again. It's actually a really good way of working. Less valuable files are always available in the main mapped drive so working with them is easy, but the more secure option is available too. It also supports Linux properly, and whilst not as fast as DropBox is certainly faster than Google Drive and OneDrive. And it allows multiple synced folders in addition to the mapped drive. I moved on from Google Drive when I found that some of my documents, which I'd specifically requested be mirrored locally, were found to contain http links to the online version rather than an actual local copy. Meaning some of my local backups contained useless stub files. And the total inability of the web UI to give me simple folder size details was annoying - almost like they were encouraging me to keep filling the space I had. I moved on from OneDrive when it wouldn't let me store files it thought might be dangerous (including `.js`, though I suspect they fixed that years ago). I also stored some older PHP code files in there (old enough to predate my git usage). When I looked at them they had an extra line of text added to the top of each file. I can't remember if it was a hashbang, comment, or text, as it was too long ago. I just remember my shock that they would change my uploaded files automatically. Conclusion: after trying all those the article did (except, oddly enough given the article, NextCloud) I found PCloud to be ideal. For me.
