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 :-)

    Can you elaborate on why “self hosting is not an option”? Not all self-hosting requires Docker and terminal and all of that. You can use SyncThing which just turns all your existing devices into “the cloud” with an app. If you leave any of those devices turned on and connected it becomes a “server”.

      I don’t feel that I have the skill to set a server up, but what you describe does sound interesting and I will look into it.

      I also don’t have hardware I could just use and am not in the position to spend a lot of money all at once.

      Syncthing is not a cloud solution though… Rather a sync solution. What’s the difference? If you delete the file on 1 device it gets deleted on every device who shares the directory…

      While a Cloud solution, your file is on a central server and you can download/delete that file on your device without affecting the server.

      Cloud service ≠ Sync service but have a similar purpose.

      Edit: And doin’ 1 way sync is still not a cloud service !

        1. That’s not correct. SyncThing has versioning
        2. That’s not a necessary component of “the cloud”.

        Let OP answer the question, please.

        It’s not 1 way sync. Please look up what you’re talking about before speaking.
