For the last couple of years I have been using Wuala as a means of accessing my PC data from overseas locations on my Ipad. The main reason for using Wuala was that the data is encrypted on my own PC before being uploaded, this way the staff at Wuala or anyone with access to their data can read my data. However; they are now withdrawing their free access and so I have removed all my data.
I now wish to replace Wuala, I do use Dropbox for my not too confidential data but am reluctant to use it for my main data due to the security problems with Dropbox over recent months and years, is there any other option I could consider with good security.

Tresorit have 5Gb for free, if that's enough ( https://tresorit.com/ ).
There's Mega ( https://mega.co.nz/ ) with 50Gb free I think. Check the article below...

Why not encrypt before uploading to Dropbox? That way you can choose your crypto suite according to your personal paranoias.0

I have downloaded Tresorit and will try it, it seems to all that I need.
To encrypt and upload into Dropbox is a problem as I would need to decrypt over different systems, Windows, IOS and Android. I trust that Tresorit will be secure:question::question:Change is here to stay0
