    My solution: Use a NAS on my Lan to store files which backs up to an OVH S3. The S3 is accessible from Android or Linux if required.

      Your experience may vary but I soon closed the account after buying their promises. Lousy speeds, lousy interopability and lousy support.

    I have a suggestion, but be careful it is not for the faint of heart, self hosting! Why is it not for the faint of heart? Because you will start with the goal of doing one thing and than that one thing will turn into 2 things than another and another. I have been wanting to get a better self hosted file thing than nextcloud because it tries to do to much so it fails at almost everything but I have found the services I am using all seem to do a good job at replacing it. I have been meaning to find something better at saving files but most of my stuff gets sorted into its own service now.

    I would highly suggest getting your own domain name from a host that offers email with a wildcard function, if you do not want to pull your hair out do not try self hosting your own email I found and seems to be the general feeling on the self hosted Lemmy group I am in.

    I like Filen. It works just well enough for a little storage and as a classic Drive/Dropbox replacement. And it has some StandardNotes functionality in it too. Everything else (including the photo upload) I don’t touch.

    Peergo’s looks like it’s for syncing files between locations, not cloud storage. Ironic you’d be considering it now, because apparently it’s based on IPFS (which just entered a semi-abandoned state).

    Don’t get near filen. Their speeds are abysmally slow. I switched to usb drives over that shit
