If you don't want to self-host, consider Proton Drive, ente.io, or crypt.ee.
I use Proton Drive; it's not perfect, but Proton has been around for 10 years. ente.io seems promising, but they haven't been around for long enough. crypt.ee seems fine, ~~but it has the same problem as ente.io,~~ and I don't like their interface(Edit: crypt.ee has been around for 8 year's).
If none of the above options suit you, maybe try sync.com; they claim to encrypt all their files with end-to-end encryption.
Filen.io's offer of cheap lifetime plans on Black Friday this raises a red flag for me, as lifetime plans are not a sustainable business model.
Both proton, ente.io and crypt.ee have been on podcasts I would listen to those before deciding what to go with.
Proton Drive is absolutely horrid at photo sharing and storage.
If you're on mac or windows i think the storage part is fine. But otherwise yes. In my opinion proton is the best alternative if you don't want to selfhost.
