The price of convenience is privacy and security.

On their site, they mention "Upload files up to 20GB". pCloud, which is a similar Linux friendly cloud storage solution, does not have this limitation. So although cheaper, a potential user should consider that it is not possible to e.g. to backup a VM.

@Dragonmouth,

Thanks for your comment! You bring up an important point about data control with third-party servers. While cloud storage offers convenience, it’s crucial to understand that true safety and control can be compromised.

@Seb,

Thanks for your detailed feedback! We understand your concerns. Internxt could definitely benefit from making their open-source status more visible, adding an easy-to-find GitHub link, and supporting self-hosters.

Countless cloud storage platforms provide safe and secure storage space.

No cloud storage platform is truly “safe and secure” when you store your data on third-party servers, you give up control of that data to the server owner/provider.
