You can self host syncing service pretty easily:
1) Get a Synology NAS.
2) Install the 'Synology Drive' package
3) set up 'Quickconnect' (~DDNS)
4) Remote backup can be though a number of providers (e.g. Backblaze) for cheap
No monthly fees. No domain needed. Storage is as cheap as the HDD's you stock it with. Your hardware and all your files are in your own house. Everything on BlackBlaze can be encrypted. You can set it up all through a webpage-based-GUI.
Technical, non-experts in computing stuff can do this. Not quite simple enough for the general public though.

- arcbyte 6y agoThis is what I use and I love it. Still working out what I want to do for backing it up to the cloud though. It has a very easy built on way to do that too, but im trying to figure out how "trust no one" I am with encryption and what exactly I really want to pay to keep around forever.
- monkmartinez 6y agoI have a QNAP for my whole family (Mom, Dad, Bro, Sis)... they can remote in and save pictures. I then use cloudsync to backup to GCP nearline. All family pictures are there. Obviously, we don't store stuff that we don't want our mother to see. I take the risk of hacking, but a fire in my house is probably more likely than a hacking of my family photos on GCP. I figure just about everything else is ephemeral.
