The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

    I have a Backblaze B2 account I use for other things, I recently created a new bucket on it and attached it as a drive using s3fs. Works fine as far as I can tell (I’ve not used it much - prefer to keep things locally and just back them up off-site, which is actually what I have my B2 account for), so you certainly can do this with an S3 (AWS) compatible service.

      I use Backblaze B2 buckets too, just use a cron job to sync stuff once a day (using it for backups). It’s not expensive and it just seems to keep on working. I also like their disc reliability reports they send out.

      That’s what I do, too. Only thing is, I’m trying to figure out how to speed s3fs up because it’s pretty pokey. How well does it run for you?
