Ask HN: Best Way to Store Files in the Cloud Without Third-Party Sync Apps? I recently lost a lot of data due to issues with my cloud provider, so now I’m looking for a more reliable way to store files in the cloud—something that includes automatic backups but doesn’t rely on third-party sync apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. I have multiple server computers that need to upload and download files reliably, preferably using standard protocols (SFTP, WebDAV, rsync, etc.) rather than a dedicated syncing client. Keeping the data at home isn’t an option, and I don’t want to have to think about it—I just need to know my data is safe. Ideally, the solution should: - Allow direct access from multiple machines - Support automatic backups (whether for individual files or full disk images) - Be cost-effective and scalable in terms of storage size - Not require installing proprietary syncing software What are the best options for this? |
