What are your thoughts on filen? I don't seem to be able to find a community for them here, but it seems like a pretty solid up and coming company for secure cloud storage options.

I like them. You get 40GB for free, so that’s appreciative. Opening documents can take some time, especially on mobile, but I don’t have any major complaints generally.

It's good and I like the service but the mobile app could use improvements to auto upload

I've noticed this too. I have to open the app for sync to start happening. I raised this concern to their customer support and they quickly responded saying they'll pass it to the dev team. Fingers crossed they add a fix soon.

Anyone know if Filen has an egress cost or limit?

Film is a nice, up and coming company. I tried their services, all works. Client-side encryption is definitely a great feature. The downside for me was how the iOS app literally kills the battery.

Satisified customer here. Bought 2x lifetime plans for myself and my partner

Just bought 3 since they stack and I'm worried they won't be offered in the future XD
