I didn't expect to even need a NAS, but I can no longer live without two now. Having all my data in one place, automated backups on my secondary NAS. I found a cloud storage provider I like. Just the whole stack is wonderful and I'm never going back.

    Could I ask what cloud storage you went with? Looking for recommendations for potential backups.

    I discovered Tresorit and I like it so far. $150 usd a year for 1 TB. Owned by the Swiss Post of all things. I prefer state owned or non profit companies where possible as service providers.

    I also wanted something GDPR compliant and outside the scope of the Cloud Act. I didn't want my data accessible by a hostile nation.

    I like their cli tools, though they are setup a bit weirdly on linux. It's more like running binaries and scripts than installing a package. Nevertheless, it gets the job done. Upload speed isn't amazing, but it is overseas. Took nearly 24 hours to send 100gb or something. My server handles it, so its not a concern.

    I'm not sure I could recommend it as a replacement for a Google Drive since I don't use it that way. I just turn the sync on once a week and it'll diff what's on my backups.

    I might setup a different folder to use as a more daily cloud storage and see how that goes. There's desktop and mobile apps.
