I am trying to get away from Google and am looking for a decent cloud service that's integrated well into Linux, either by itself or by using rclone.

I tried Proton drive, but it is laggy and overall not very good.

I just need storage, nothing fancy. Self hosting is not an option tough, at this time.

EDIT: I don't want to write the same answer 15 times, so I'll just put this here: Thanks a lot for the recommendations to all of you! I've got some reading up to do now :-)

Man $500 a month for 50TB.

For less than that, I could buy 5x10TB hard drives every two months. Sure there's value in the hosting and internet, but why is it so damned expensive compared to the price of hosting it?

    Those cheaper drives scare me.

    What grinds my gears is you can rent enough compute to handle this for $30 a month. That covers redundant internet, staff, fire suppression, generators, air conditioning.

    I want to couple that with a chassis full of sata. Obviously more power and heat but not 16 times that.

    You can get 2u of colocation for about a hundred bucks per month. I've been pondering for a few years building out a 4u chassis and doing a friends and fam storage co-op. You could do a 208tb (real 189) z2 with two parity drives for around $4,500 bucks plus 100-130 a month.

    The current pricing is all based on SAS. Even the companies that aren't using SAS are still charging like it is.
