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!

A home NAS isn't cheap, but Synology has a very nice capability to schedule an occasional encrypted backup to AWS Glacier.

Keep in mind that, with that approach, getting you files back out of AWS Glacier is more expensive than putting them in, particularly if you're in a hurry.

I find the tradeoff acceptable, because I'm only going to need to restore from Glacier if I have a fire or something.

Obviously, you'll also need another, different, secure offsite backup for your encryption key, in that setup. There's fancier options, but a deposit box at a local bank is an obvious choice.
