I am trying to get away from Google and am looking for a decent cloud service that’s integrated well into Linux, either by itself or by using rclone.

I tried Proton drive, but it is laggy and overall not very good.

I just need storage, nothing fancy. Self hosting is not an option tough, at this time.

EDIT: I don’t want to write the same answer 15 times, so I’ll just put this here: Thanks a lot for the recommendations to all of you! I’ve got some reading up to do now :-)

I use sycthing and it’setup and forget.

Syncthing has been amazing. The downside is that you need the space to do the whole share replica on each box. Of course, that just makes me be a better steward of my own data archival.

You can put a share send only and another receive only

The downside of doing this is that the shares always show out of sync in the UI.

For someone who likes everything showing green, those purple warnings hurt my soul

That doesn’t address the original point which is whatever’s shared has to exist on all machines.

Either way, you would need to backup your data if you were self hosting Nextcloud or friends so you do need multiple copies of it anyway.

That’s not a bad idea. I do that on my phone for the camera, but never thought to use it in other ways.

And it can also do three-way, bi-directional sync. Which feels kind of crazy to me
