Been using it for years. Wasn’t perfect and still isn’t, but it certainly has improved lots.
Main issue at the beginning for me was some sync issues caused by the local apps. Those have been solved.
As for the speed I really couldn’t tell you, it seems fine to me, but I
-
Don’t really have a super fast connection and
-
Don’t upload or download lots so I rarely need the top speed.
Just to say a number uploads for me are around 6MB/s and download around 10MB/s which is my top speed, but I live pretty far from Germany where their infra is located.
For the price I think the service is great, and regardless of price the web client and Linux sync client are some of my favorites. Android app is serviceable but definitely needs work. I don’t know if they are still just the two or three guys that they were some time back or if they have expanded since, but development is slow, take that into account, so improvements arrive but take time.
I think my final judgment would be to tell you that since about 2 years ago it’s my main cloud. Probably proton would be the only that would replace it, but obviously is more expensive and not really too interested in Linux users, so I don’t see that happening soon.
I would recommend you to test drive with a free account, it has the exact same features as paid just with a small amount of storage space.
That would be the logical thing according to common sense and probably according to pichai a few weeks ago, but trump just nominated an anti big tech and musk friend to the FCC. musk is behind almost everybody in ai and autonomous cars so he’ll definitely push to hamper all competitors.
Sure, we don’t know how far would they go or how long will musk keep having white house influence and I personally think breaking up google is now off the table, but I don’t think they will get off the hook too easily.
So surely a very big bribe.
