I’m looking for a SaaS to offload photos and files/backups. I don’t want to have to do a manual sync or process - I am too used to iCloud photo backup at this point, I would be paying for something I wouldn’t be using.

    The most common solutions are typically Google Drive, OneDrive, and (before they closed it ) Amazon drive. I’ve been syncing to a personal OwnCloud deployment that is backed up to Wasabi and it’s pretty cheap. I have friends using BackBlaze that are happy with it but it’s not as seamless. Curious if there are better options out there like a Wasabi but for iCloud.

    I’ve been using OneDrive for a while. I get MS 365 and get office + 1TB of drive space/user for 5 users for $10/month. Works great across devices and it’s pretty darn cheap for covering the entire fam.

      Also recommend OneDrive, iOS app works great for automatically syncing photos, and has a decent document scanning/pdf feature I use a lot.

    I don’t think there is anything as seamless if you use iOS. What is your reason for changing services?

      undefined> What is your reason for changing services?

      I’m trying to decouple myself from major providers. I’m not dead-set on it, if iCloud works (which, it does), then I’m not opposed to keeping it.

      I went through a big push to move my stuff off Google - so photos and stuff are next.

        Using a large provider may actually be an advantage. It is not likely that Apple, MS or so will disappear quickly. Maybe have a look at Cryptomator which you can use together with for example iCloud to add more security/privacy? But they claim to be end to end encrypted now so maybe Cryptomator is unnecessary. If you trust them. iCloud is closed source after all. Otherwise maybe Nextcloud as a provider. Or self host.

    If you email me all of your files, I promise to send them back to you when you ask.

      Excuse me, I thought I was to type out all of the file contents in each BTC payment to your wallet? Are those files retained??

        Huh? I don’t speak BTC, we will NEVER access your wallets and steal all of your magic Internet Money.
