. . . what do you use instead? AlternativeTo mentions (among a few others) Cozy and Filen; anyone use either of these? Internxt got a pretty bad review from someone on Medium.
Synology DS918+.
I use whatever online storage service I want because you can add your own encryption layer so you only sync encrypted files. rclone supports lots of services and will also encrypt files for you.
This. It’s not as simple to get it working as it is on non-free OS’s, but with rclone I can get on Linux pretty much the same functionality I get from (eg.) Google Drive on Windows, including have most of the drive with on-demand access (meaning files are not stored locally, but downloaded / uploaded as needed) with a few specific folders synced for offline use. Since it supports a lot of storage services, I suppose it shouldn’t be that different to set it up the same way with Proton Drive.
I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs, but I wish I didn’t have to since I’m paying for protondrive too. It took me a whole day to upload my personal files to protondrive through the web interface since it crashed the browser repeatedly and I had to verify what got uploaded or not each time.

Wish I was smart enough to know what that is 🙄
Sorry, a “storage box” ìs a product by a company called Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/
sshfs is a way to mount something remote through ssh so it behaves like a local directory.
I host my own Nextcloud
I tried setting this up on my QNAP and almost pulled out all my spines (because I’m a hedgehog 🦔) in the process. This was quite a while ago, so I don’t remember exactly what the issue(s) were, but I do remember spending quite a bit of time on this without being able to get it to work. The fault may lie with the QNAP.
I use Proton Drive in a browser
