How can I know if I doesn't get the chance to test their service? Last night
I tested Baidu Pan, and the upload speed (using BCloud) was ~180kB/s, while
the download (using JDownloader) was 1-2MB/s. However, as of today both
speeds are terribly slow.

I'm mainly going to upload data that doesn't need security such as movies, tv
series, and various other things that takes a lot of space but otherwise
isn't too valuable. I originally intended to create a "cloud storage" that I
can mount via Files as a virtual drive, format it as an encrypted filesystem,
and use it as an additional storage. Now I see that this isn't possible and
there's no universal free software client that can encrypt my data on-the-fly
without syncing it first.

Quantum computers, maybe?

Yep, I learned this from Facebook.
