I filled my old ass Google drive with literally gibberish text files until I exceeded my limit then abandoned it.
Screw em. Don’t need someone else’s computer for my data
Aye, I’ve given my old NAS enclosure to a family member and they’ve never been so happy having the arrrr stack running on it and I think it’s like magic to them still.
However one step at a time and I’ll get them off Google Photos (I’ve plonked Immich and Jellyfin on their bedroom n100 box) and Drive if it kills me. Screw this bullshit of paying to store our data only for them to double down and invade their privacy.

My dad has 100 TB free drive storage due to being a non-profit club. I’m happy to fill that nearly to the brim with my encrypted backups. I doubt they’d ever think someone can really use that space, especially as a small non-profit, but considering daily full-disk backups of several hundres gigabytes … it’s gonna be easy. On the contrary, I’m happy to pay for my 1 TB Hetzner Storagebox. Because I know exactly where my data resides, I can ssh into the box and even use rsync (to some degree).
Just be careful with that, I think if the nonprofit ever got audited that kind of personal use of nonprofit resources isn’t really kosher…
We could argue it’s legit backups from everything involving it, and that’s kinda true as it also contains stuff for the club. Just all other files of my server too, which includes the backups of all my other devices.
You’ve made a compelling case against yourself.
In the end they won’t notice it. It’s just files named backup. No way for them to prove this isn’t only files for the club.
I cancelled my 2TB sub and moved to MEGA because the CASA requirements meant CDisplayEx (comic reader) also had to drop Google Drive integration. Good timing as I was deGoogling over other areas like email, browser, etc
Does rclone still work?
I’m worried about dolphin’s kpart.
I moved to syncthing a long time ago. I run it on all my computers, my phone, and my NAS. Keeps everything in sync and local. My only worry is the lack of an offsite. If my home burned down, I’d be a little screwed. Otherwise, I’ve got lots of copies on lots of devices, as well as automatic backups.
Looks like I moved to proton drive just in time!
