However, Google Drive is a very poor option for Linux users and it gives me the impression of getting trapped in the Google world of interconnected apps. If the functionality of Dropbox for free users should still shrink, I'll have to move to another cloud or subscribe to a 2TB Dropbox plan, which is way too much for me. I disagree from user Nyarlathotep: to my knowledge, Dropbox never ended support for Linux, they cut down Linux sync support to ext4 filesystems in 2018 but brought it back to ZFS, XFS, Btrfs And eCryptFS in July 2019.

It works smoothly on Linux (I have presently two Mints and a Lubuntu installed) and regularly upgrades. I especially like the possibility of falling back to previous versions of the saved files (from the website). They recently limited free users to three devices. Installation was very smooth in both Mint Cinnamon and Mate.

I gradually reached a free store limit of 16.5 GB, which is more than enough for me, because I use ext. Preferably use an open-source password manager.I've been using it for several years and recommended it to friends and relatives. There are also online tools available that can give hackers access to your computer (physically or remotely) and passwords that are stored by the browser are viewed or stolen.

Often these passwords are stored in plain text. Password protection of browsers is generally not that great. Most web browsers offer the ability to store your passwords, but we do not recommend this. That way, you only have to remember one password – the password manager’s. A password manager can generate secure passwords for you and syncs them securely (encrypted) across all your devices. But how are you going to remember all those passwords? You can, of course, write them all in notepad, but that is not a convenient or safe option.Ī password manager puts all your passwords into a kind of digital vault and secures them with a master password. Security experts recommend using a different password for each account you create. Passwords get stolen and data breaches are unfortunately not always preventable.
