    We all know that we need to protect our identity when we are in this group. I'm blown away at how many of you share on Google Drive under your real name! I have found just about all of you on social media from your Google Drive shares, which has also led me to your websites...I've seen some BEAUTIFUL work! The problem with this is, if I can find you and your business that easily, so can the people who the material your sharing belongs to! If you don't want to go to jail or pay a hefty penalty...change your name on your google drive accounts or use another service...Mega is AWESOME!

    Ok getting down off my soapbox now lol...how are you all doing today?

    workupload and mega is good alternatives, however using a different name with google may work too but who will pay for the additional storage on an additional account?

    true and when you register a gmail account you have to leave your phone n°...
    How do you guys protect your identity @NanaNikon & @Kocaman (email accounts, share, storage, paypal, co-working with people from the club .. ) ? Would love to have your feedback on that point.

    I just upload to workupload via VPN, not sure to what extent VPN helps. To be honest there are more serious issues which the police/courts are after, I think hosts will most likely delete your sharing account and possibly ban you. I don't see anyone going to jail for sharing a few courses/materials. If something serious was to happen. I think @convectuoso would have been hit big, he had quite a lot of tutorials on his mega, it just got deleted as far as I know.

    Mega Business plans are safer than classic ones. But its 30€ per month and it can be used by 3 users. It has unlimited storage and traffic.

    I hope @convectuoso is doing fine, I've been reading some bad stuff on his profile about CIA ...
    Reminds me the original megauplo story lol
    I think VPN helps a lot but you can't be safe enough :-/

    I highly recommend you to use a VPN @NanaNikon to protect yourself and those around you. (If you need help for this PM me).
    Use Tor Browser for this website (it cleans itself after you close it) ... double security is always better ;-)
    As long as this website doesn't get shutdown or servers inspected by fbi or hacked I don't think it is risky to share your name in Private Message or refer to an external source like Telegram for private discussions.
    You can also use an end to end encryption email service like tutamail.com for safe communication (probably a lot safer than mainstream email providers). Nobody is 100% safe here but you can do the most you can to remain as safe as possible.
    When you upload a word document make sure your tags are clear, sometimes your computer's name is put in these documents..
    Stay safe everybody :)

    No need to, just be smart and follow security protocols.

    Found most good price/service ratio service. Datacenters are all over the EU and headquarters in Canada.
    30/eur per month and you can create 3 business individial accounts.
