But to be honest i have had my files there for few years unencrypted and in US without realizing, so it's not that encryption was needed or anything special, but it just sucks to be a victim of marketing practice advertising "your files are under the jurisdiction of Switzerland" and find out that they never been, then it's a good service? It's debatable, it's cross platform and has good client support for Linux OSes, but from mobile for example i have never been able to show to friends pics and videos, always timed out, and i have good connections, i.e. TMobile and Vodafone for mobile (I'm Italian living abroad)

But whether or not you need encryption, is that ok to advertise something that you don't have?

In that case... I get it. But yeah... Everybody did/does it and it's stupid. And i knew it was stupid back then (even my current mail provider does the same; Belgium yada yada, but have been honest about cooperating with police). I even figured the lifetime option was a sign that they would collapse years ago. But i took a risk, and I have very cheap storage online.

Also. Yes. The Android app is very bad compared to e.g. drive/photos
