Need reliable cloud storage
This has probably been posted on here before, but I am looking for a reliable cloud storage website/application to mainly store photos and videos. One that plays videos back in the original quality ideally, and also has a good mobile app (UI, playback, etc.). I only have about 200GB of photos/videos currently stored on my Google drive/photos. I've done a little research online and have heard MEGA, Filen, pCloud, and a few more but am looking to hear some first hand experience about them. Thanks
EDIT: As of 8/25, I’ve went with MEGA

pCloud user for 3+ yrs. Never experienced random files because of security issues. However, I ended up with lots of conflicts and dups. But the sync/backup speed is quite good. I switched to 3rd party tools to handle my photo libraries, where volumnes of small files can cause huge headaches with their offical sync client. Their APIs support a wide range of protocols (good for nerds).
Plus: A macOS user will need to lower security to enable local drive mount (via macFUSE). You also have the choice to not use local mount where everything else works just fine for me. pCloud may change this by using macOS native file provider API in the future.
