I'm in the process of moving my various google data onto Hetzner storage share[1]. It's a Nextcloud instance with 5TB of storage for $16/month. My wife and I each have a normal user, we can share stuff just as well as before, and we can install things like a simple Kanban app, sync to our Android phones, etc etc.

So far it's been great, I highly recommend it.

It's only an option, if you trust hetzner, since there no encryption whatsoever, it's just a managed nextcloud instance.


I have been banned from Hetzner multiple times now and believe me, nothing I was doing is even strange, let alone worthy of bans. I don't think an EU cloud can ever be trusted.


Regardless of any cloud:

I hope you have a proper backup strategy


Multiple local copies, a cloud copy, and an archive copy on a different provider.


Store a local copy offsite with a friends or relative you visit regularly(encrypted). One fire and all your local copies gone otherwise.


"Now that we know how you did it, we will raid you and get it. And we will use the $5 wrench to get the passwords from you" :)


Interesting that I got down voted for this
