I've been using Proton Drive for my file storage, but since there's no official client and I've struggled with rclone, I've considered moving my files to my NAS home folder. The downside is that this setup doesn't provide a proper 3-2-1 backup, and getting cloud backup like Backblaze B2 can be pricey. I've also thought about using SyncThing again, but I've had issues in the past with conflicting files and versioning. So, I'm curious what solutions others are using for keeping their files accessible across different devices nowadays?

Nextcloud might be a bit of a learning curve if you're not into self-hosting, but it's a solid option. You can run it on an old PC or Raspberry Pi using a stable Linux distro, and even use a container for it. There's an All-in-One solution too, which can make it easier to get started.
For something like 1TB of data, I use SyncThing for a local-only setup. Then, I rely on pCloud for my cloud storage needs, which works across multiple platforms.
I've been using iCloud and just access it through the web on my Linux machine. It's working out fine for now with my desktop, phone, and laptop, especially since I pay for extra storage with my Apple TV.
iCloud can get a bit greedy with storage! It fills up so fast.
Google Drive is pretty affordable and effective. I've found it meets my needs quite well for cloud storage.
Is it easy to use on Linux or do you recommend any specific setup?
Definitely gets the job done! Plus, built-in options make life easier.
Doesn't that mean you have to download files first, then re-upload them after editing?
