The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

    @JackbyDev @besbin my personal solution for this is an encrypted 16tb external storage drive I keep in my car. A copy of my server drive is made once a week. not perfect solution but doesn’t require much effort on my part

      I walk through the woods on one side of my house, there is a shovel behind some trees I’ve marked. Then I go back to my house, down the other side of my property until I get to the river. Then I dig in the river bank until I get to a plastic bag. Double wrapped of course.

      Inside the plastic bag?.. a collection of 1gb USB thumb drives and a note pad.

      In the note pad?.. an index cataloguing what is backed up on each thumb drive.

      I guess it depends where you live, but I’d be worried about heat/freezing.

        @ebits21 yes this is true I mean I live in the UK so we don’t get extremes neither way, but maybe during winter I should keep the drive at my partners place
