this alone is going to push me away from using it. I'm very petty like that. anyone have good alternatives?

Syncthing for syncing files between devices and filen for backups.

Same reason why I refuse to use Edge. I don't care if its the best browser in the world (which its not), the more you try to force me to use it, the less I'll try it

Even Dropbox is better if you just want a hosted solution that does the same thing. I use syncthing as a self hosted version, I know Next cloud is popular too.

Dropbox is just too expensive for me. I have nearly a TB of data on there. I'd use Dropbox if it wasn't so expensive

I like filen.io pretty good so far

I haven't used their desktop program because I can upload files by myself... But I imagine MEGA wouldn't do something like that.
