I didn’t see this on any privacy guide, but with minimal work, you can have a cloud drive that’s accessible from your phone and laptop.

Basically setup Rclone mounted => Rclone crypt => Rclone + Backblaze. Dump all your files and it works like a normal cloud drive. Android Rclone client is here https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync/releases

Round Sync let’s you setup Cronjobs so you can backup all your photos or whatever automatically. I have a job that syncs all my photos to my drive every couple days.

I store a lot in Backblaze and it’s <1USD/mo. I can provide details if there is interest.

    I’m still new to this whole privacy and selfhosting stuff, but rclone is one of the cooler utilities I’ve come across so far. The sheer number of cloud services it can hook to is fantastic! I’d love to see your tutorial. I’m currently using Immich to backup from my phone to my server then a night Duplicacy job sends it to B2.
