    These services are so sketchy. Google Drive was telling me everything was synced for months, yet was syncing nothing. I was on a paid plan. There was no customer support. I think I tried everyone at some point. They all suck. Sync hasn’t fucked me over yet, but I will not be surprised when it happens.

      It’s more effort ofc, but host your own solution via a nas or something. I have all my shit on one at home, syncing to devices and offering access over the internet, and I know that my shit is safe because I know what the fuck I’m doing, and strangely I’m not trying to fuck myself out of a monthly subscription or something. Never worry about getting flagged by some bot and getting my account purged. Very, very slim chance of a data breach, since the system auto-updates and is secured behind passwords, mfa, permissions on each user. It’s my data, under my control, doing what I want and nothing else. And it’s freaking fantastic.

        I’m sold, but I looked into this for months and discovered that I am simply not technically competent enough to pull it off. You really need to know wtf you are doing to accomplish this IMO. Do you recommend a software or method for half-dummies that suck at networking and are useless at programming?
