Anyone know of good free secure cloud storage NOT from the big players?
Not Google Cloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive & the like.
End-to-end encrypted where they can't decrypt it even if they wanted to?
And then there's those like icedrive that won't even tell you how much. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icedrive.app

Depends whether you consider mega.nz to be "big" or tainted by its fore-runner megaupload.com?
They offer 20GB free ...
The only thing bigger might be TeraBox which claims a terabyte
of free cloud storage but that's so big I don't really believe it.

Something like "Sync - Secure cloud storage" only more than 5GB for free?

And everything free? Dream on!
In the Anglo-Saxon domain I know only Apple that offers real
E2E-encryption. All others talk a lot about encryption. What they mean
is US-style: Easy access for the three letter organisations.

I've used Box for many years, and have found it to be very good. You get
10GB for free per account - but you can have multiple accounts if you
use a different email address for each one.
With the free version, there is a limit to how big an individual file
can be - 250MB - which could possibly be a limitation if you want to
store large video files, but for most stuff it's fine.

Thanks for suggesting Box and for noting what the limitations are.

It would be nice if we can come up with the "best" free cloud storage which has the least limitations & the most privacy for around 10 to 15GB storage.

Lots of online articles found by searching "best free cloud storage",
like:
https://www.techradar.com/best/best-free-cloud-storage-service
https://www.cloudwards.net/the-top-5-cloud-companies-with-large-free-service-plans/
However, "best" doesn't mean all your criteria will get satisfied.
Get too greedy on criteria using someone else's dollar, and you'll criteria yourself out of many choices.
Can't be "big", must provide 20GB
minimum, and so on, and eventually you're looking for your parents to
pay the bills.
These are resources cost money, so many "free" services
are lures into paid plans once you get a taste and want more.
Anyone operating a totally free cloud storage service like you want
would have to be very wealthy to afford all the costs, or rely on
donations which means eventually the experiment fails since freeloaders
don't pay even for donations, and if you're willing to pay for donations
then look at paid services.

Most are worthless shills. I know this because once in a while I know what the best app for a task is, oh, say, Irfanview on Windows for image
viewing. Nothing is better, right?
Well, if you look at the articles found, most don't even mention
Irfanview.
I don't know why but I suspect ...
My point is that most "best free cloud storage" articles are going to be worthless shills - because they're trying to sell you something.
When I ask here on this group, nobody is trying to sell me anything.

This is the order of the links that article provided where I skimmed

Note that only Maga says "no credit card required" I think, which is
another requirement because once they get your card, you're dead.
However, "best" doesn't mean all your criteria will get satisfied.
My criteria are pretty simple. Free. No credit card.
A login is OK. No ads. No file size limit. No time limits.
What else are the things almost everyone would want?
Get too greedy on criteria using someone else's dollar, and you'll criteria >> yourself out of many choices.
That's the whole point. To cull out the bad guys.
What bills? It's got to be free. Like really free. Zero dollars. Ever.
What I want is the following.
1. At least 10 GB or more for free with file sizes at least 2GB (movies).
2. No credit card. At most I'll create an account. But that's it.
3. I don't care about encryption (I can do it myself).
4. I don't care about synchronization (I can do it myself).
