Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux? - eviltoast

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?

    If you need the online storage (or whatever self hosted service) just for yourself (and maybe some few people), it’s very simple to set up a Wireguard instance. My server doesn’t even show open ports to the outside world, but with Wireguard I can access my git, wiki, etc in my home LAN.
    I haven’t really tried any of the second tier Solutions like Tailscale. But when you have more users or a more complex environment, that could help.

    Still, sharing stuff with “outsiders” would still be tricky, I guess - at least I haven’t found a solution…
