[Discuss] Cloud Apps for Linux

[Andrew Willard]

Oh and before someone points out the obvious... yes the Linux client has been delayed. It's coming.

I was a kickstarter backer for the Lima. So I've been using two of them for a while now... the software has matured a long way since they started. 
Cross platform is nice. Cheap solution. Have as much cloud storage as you want. May not be ideal for some peoples network connection at home/work.

In an earlier email I asked if anyone had any experience with Mega or 
any other Cloud service, as an alternative to Dropbox, which I have been 
using now for a number of years. Nobody answered so I didn't follow up 
but recently I have become more dissatisfied with Dropbox support for my 
distro opensuse 13.2 and Leap 42.1. Linux support by Cloud services is 
in general pretty poor with support limited to Ubuntu / Debian / Fedora. 
However I investigated some recommend on the net 

https://www.maketecheasier.com/dropbox-alternatives-for-linux/ 

I liked SpiderOak but then realised the "Free" was a 60 day trial. 
I found PCloud a confusing interface on the Web and its desktop client 
has only a deb no rpm or source. 
Copy.com is shutting down. 

I have therefore ended up with Mega that has lots of Linux support a 
very easy to use client and Web interface and 50GB storage free. Not 
that I need more than 1GB since I don't share photos and videos etc. My 
only hesitation is with the involvement by the originator Kim Dotcom but 
he may not still be involved with Mega? 

Anyone have any further advise? (I individually encrypt any sensitive 
files before I upload them.)
