Somewhat off topic, but does anyone have any recommendations for personal cloud storage. I've heard good things about Syncthing, but thats for syncing, not for storing. Preferably something as simple and easy to use/setup as possible. I want to use it mostly for storing old projects, I don't want it to be a project.

Google One (Drive storage) is one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) I think. Paying just 1.99 for 100GB monthly.

  How does it compare to dropbox? I'm happy to pay a bit more I'd rather avoid Google if I could so I don't get further locked-in with them, but its a minor issue, and if they do end up being the best whilst keeping out my way then that sounds like a good deal to me

  100gb wasn't enough for me. A family subscription to office 365 offers each user 1tb of storage and the price is reasonable compared to the competition, especially if you're already ok with paying for Microsoft office.

  I have heard good things about Nextcloud, so this may be a winner. Cheers!

rclone is very good. Choose any cloud storage provider, and then run it through a nightly cronjob or whatever. https://rclone.org/ https://rclone.org/

  Oh sorry, should've been clearer, I'm not looking for backup (I'm currently using backblaze for that), just general storage.

    Wasabi is good because it has no egress charges and is only $6/month per TB: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#three-info https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#three-info

    You can use rclone to mount cloud storage folders locally: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/

I find Wasabi (S3 compatible) to be the most useful. I'm paying $6 for ~400 GB of storage. I store/stream all my music there (use presigned URLs for playback). I find that most cloud storage deviate too much from a simple file management interface.
