The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

    If you want cloud storage I’d recommend Nextcloud as a service (I’m not affiliated with them, just a customer)

    Works like a charm. You can even install plugins. Also, there are other companies that provide hosting so there is no vendor-lock-in.

        I have a raspberry pi 2, would this handle Nextcloud? Any recommendations for a hard drive to use with it please?

          Being 32 bit, it’s getting a bit old for using it with modern software. But maybe take a look at this and give it a try:

          https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-install-nextcloudpi/126308

          NextcloudPi is a fairly low-maintenance version of NC, the only way I’d recommend installing it besides as a docker image. Straight installing NC is a recipe for disaster, it’s notoriously bad at updating that way.

          Whatever you do, don’t use the builtin web updater inside NC to update nextcloud itself. Their app updater is fine, but the actual Nextcloud web updater is utter dogshit and will break things.
