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

    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.

    I host a Nextcloud instance. Tbh Nextcloud runs like crap but it works fine for my one-user use case. As someone else under this post says, it tries to do everything and does everything badly. I would’ve probably chosen something more lightweight and written in something other than PHP if I were doing my self-hosting setup from scratch. But you can always self-host; if privacy and digital sovereignty is your concern, you can’t beat self-hosting.
