- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

So what would be better alternatives? I do not plan to self-host.
You could e.g. subscribe to a fully managed Nextcloud.
Can you recommend one? Nextcloud would be great tbh.
Unfortunately not, as I'm selfhosting my instance. For myself, I'd go for one that is hosted in Europe.
I can recommend Hetzner. The price is actually really good compared to the likes of Google Drive.
Hetzner is ran on a bunch of duct taped together desktops PCs (not even joking here) by incompetent morons. The savings are not worth the headache of their terrible service. I say that as someone who has spent thousands on VPSs from them in the past for my company
Just throwing it out there, even if you're not running your own server or anything, if you happen to have two computers turned on at the same time occasionally, Syncthing is awesomely transparent and works VERY well. Crazy easy to set up too. (Like actually easy, not "network admin easy.")
I personally run it on a little server at home now so it's always on, and there's a single "point of truth" where everything references the server, but you can have a number of devices that all simply ask each other what needs updating when they detect each other online. It can automatically retain versions, and that kind of thing. :)
