I'm trying to move away from using Microsoft products and OneDrive for my file backups. Currently, I have sync.com, but they don't have a Linux app, which makes things tricky. I do have one Windows computer that will remain for now, so I'm looking for a solution that can automatically transfer files from my Linux machines to the Windows computer, where the files can then be synced with Sync. In the future, I might consider a more advanced setup like NextCloud, but for now, I just want something simple to get started. Any suggestions?

You might want to look into rclone if you have Google Drive; it's versatile but may not be the simplest for beginners. KDE and Gnome environments can also help with accessing different cloud accounts directly. Plus, if you’re feeling adventurous, consider sharing files between Windows and Linux using SMB and an rsync job.
I run my own NextCloud instance - it takes some setup but gives you full control over your files. Definitely a little more advanced, but worth considering if you plan on growing your setup.
Check out Syncthing! It's really user-friendly, allows you to sync folders on different machines, and works across platforms. Just install it on your devices and you're good to go!
Have you checked out Filen (filen.io)? It has apps for Windows, Linux, and mobile. I moved from Dropbox and love it for its end-to-end encryption and decent speeds!
You could get a second SSD to clone files consistently, or consider setting up a NAS as a local cloud solution. Both options will give you a good safety net for your backups.
