What's everyone doing to manage their files, sync between devices, back up shit, etc

Refuse to be a part of a big tech protection racket where possible.

Used to host nextcloud, but realised i spent more time setting shit up than actually using it day to day, and it just wasn't all that great, desu.

That's everything networking though. Nothing ever goes smoothly.

LocalSend for one-time file sharing between devices. Rsync for backups.

Jesus dude, how? It took me a few hours to get up and running as a container

I just have a few 2tb drives that hold copies of all my data lying around the house (using rsync regularly), and I keep stuff with actual sentimental value on my 15gb google drive. Will work pretty well until either my house burns down or a solar flare happens
>>
Anybody using Proton's ecosystem for keeping stuff backed up?

Having a NAS

I don't sync, there are no files I need to keep updated between devices. An occasional copy is fine for my purposes
I have a UBS where I back up a few choice files and hold portable apps in. Also it contains a Linux live CD for rescue needs
For backups I have 2 spare HDDs where I manually copy things once every few months. I also use Bup with a simple script to archive most of my /home for and a few lose files with one click
