Alternatives to iCloud (iOS/Mac OS/Windows) (self.technology)

I’m looking for a SaaS to offload photos and files/backups. I don’t want to have to do a manual sync or process - I am too used to iCloud photo backup at this point, I would be paying for something I wouldn’t be using.

undefined> What is your reason for changing services?

I'm trying to decouple myself from major providers. I'm not dead-set on it, if iCloud works (which, it does), then I'm not opposed to keeping it.

I went through a big push to move my stuff off Google - so photos and stuff are next.

Using a large provider may actually be an advantage. It is not likely that Apple, MS or so will disappear quickly. Maybe have a look at Cryptomator which you can use together with for example iCloud to add more security/privacy? But they claim to be end to end encrypted now so maybe Cryptomator is unnecessary. If you trust them. iCloud is closed source after all. Otherwise maybe Nextcloud as a provider. Or self host.
