Hey Lemmy, what do you recommend for cloud backup? OneDrive is now locking me out due to apparently breaking their terms of service, so it’s just the push I need to find something else.

I know everyone recommends Nextcloud for self-hosted, but I’m looking to pay for something where I’ll get a little more reliability.

I’m seeing mixed reviews of Proton Drive so I’d be curious if anyone has experience with that, especially compared to OneDrive.

Thanks in advance!

    I should say I’m more interested in a good multi-device sync than long-term backup, so that sounds good for Proton.

      Note that sync and backup don’t necessarily need to be the same process. You could use i.e. Syncthing for syncrhonisation between clients and a NAS and then create scheduled backups of the synced dirs on the NAS using i.e. borg backup.

      You could combine something like backblaze with syncthing and get both. And you wouldn’t lose syncing if your cloud storage provider became inaccessible. There’s a self hosted aspect to that, albeit an easy one so perhaps still not something you want to do? Felt worth mentioning though.

      +1 for proton I’ve been using it for a few months now.

      As for multi device between it works great between my two windows laptops but as for my phone it’s iffy (thanks apple :D)
