Cloud storage solution? (programming.dev)

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!

pcloud, cheap and stable

Yes, but is the PC actually loud?

I use pcloud for 5 years and I have zero issues with them. BTW, their support team also very good

Similarly, koofr has cheaper options for lifetime options, an open source client with encryption available, and compatibility with rclone and WebDAV.

I'd also recommend hetzner's hosted nextcloud instances. They're reliable, and relatively cheap for the file size offered. Nextcloud is great to self host till the first time it goes down and a family member can't get a file, then you won't ever be able to convince them to use another service you host.
