I’ve cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here’s what I’m thinking of, but I’d love to hear what other people are switching to

    For those of us who do need Drive for cloud storage, any suggestions? I’m looking for around 2tb. Please don’t say self hosted NAS.

      Try filen. I put some work stuff there. Though I’m now using it as offsite backup because my self host seafile is what i prefer to use for the day to day

        Signed up yesterday and used it for work today. Seems to be a good alternative, just waiting for client confirmation.

        I already manage a lot of self hosted stuff, and this cloud storage is specifically for my crucial off-site backups.

          Understandable. Sadly, you can’t exactly set up an off-site backup in your living room, no matter how much you want to.

          When someone doesn’t want self hosted NAS, it feels like they often just dn’t want to bother with it. While I haven’t used them myself, I’ve heard good things about ready made NAS boxes.

          For self built, it has been too hassle free in my experience. I want to tinker more with the NAS part, but it is just too reliable & maintenance free!

          While I know that they’re different, the more common reasons for not wanting a NAS just remind me a bit of some “reasons” to not care about digital privacy or security.
