I still use Dropbox because I care about what you mentioned, but I think the next best thing is Seafile, however it has bad symlink handling.

I was in a similar boat and fairly recently started using pCloud, which I've been liking a lot. It has minimal frills and just focuses on file storage and sharing. I mainly use the Linux and web clients, both of which are excellent. I don't have any association with them outside of being a happy customer.

Nextcloud. You can buy the service directly at various providers, such as Hetzner.

Another solution is Google Drive, adding Insync for desktop sync.

I have zero interest in administering my own services like it appears Nextcloud, even with Hetzner, would require. I've been there and done that, but I'm too far out of the sysadmin game now to do a good job of it. It's a bad use of my time, and not something I enjoy as a hobby.

I'm unwilling to use Google services if I can avoid it.

The service I mentioned (Hetzner, but there are others) do all the administration for you. You get a login and password into a Nextcloud instance, that's it. No administration required.

I can vouch for this. I haven't really done anything on the web interface, I use it for file sync like i used to use Dropbox, and I have clients in Windows, Linux and Android and it just works.

Yikes! That's a lot more expensive for my data usage than Dropbox!

That's possible if you use more than 1 TB. Otherwise they're cheaper, quite significantly for smaller amounts.

Yes but latest Insync adds xml suffix to files with xml contents. To keep feature parity to Google Drive Web downloads, they say. Duh! :(

Do you have a source explaining the issue a bit more? I haven't found anything and don't exactly understand what you mean.

Yes but it is by me :) https://forums.insynchq.com/t/extension-added-to-files-based...

It must be specific to Windows. I can't reproduce it on Linux.

wtf? Can you comment on the Insync Forums thread please?

Thank you!

Ok, I spoke too fast. It does add the extension but only if it gets modified/moved from Google Drive. If you just sync from your PC it stays as is.

That's a problem indeed.

Yup. That must have been how I triggered it -- I moved main folder around.

For the record, I tried with Google Drive File Stream, and it doesn't do that. So that's on Insync, not Google Drive.
