Neither of those give you any privacy unless you do the encryption yourself in which case you have to build something to access them unencrypted. Have you checked out what the service actually does?
Wouldn't a mega encripted folder make sense for the average person?
Let's say you store your photos in Dropbox but inside an encrypted folder. What would you have to do to view the photos? Unless there client you encrypt your files with has a photo viewer, you'd have to download the pictures and decrypt them to look at them. The whole thing becomes very inconvenient very quickly.
https://mega.io/ is client side. It works like protonmail you decript to view.
