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 :-)

      Syncthing is not a cloud solution though… Rather a sync solution. What’s the difference? If you delete the file on 1 device it gets deleted on every device who shares the directory…

      While a Cloud solution, your file is on a central server and you can download/delete that file on your device without affecting the server.

      Cloud service ≠ Sync service but have a similar purpose.

      Edit: And doin’ 1 way sync is still not a cloud service !

          It’s not 1 way sync. Please look up what you’re talking about before speaking.

          Yeah it’s not, however you can configure syncthing as a 1way sync solution and I was emphasizing that this still isn’t a cloud solution.

          Don’t get me wrong, syncthing is great and I use it everyday, but syncthing is not a cloud solution.

      Can you elaborate on why “self hosting is not an option”?

      I don’t feel that I have the skill to set a server up, but what you describe does sound interesting and I will look into it.

      I also don’t have hardware I could just use and am not in the position to spend a lot of money all at once.
