Cloud storage solutions with Linux (mander.xyz)

I am trying to get away from Google and am looking for a decent cloud service that's integrated well into Linux, either by itself or by using rclone.

I tried Proton drive, but it is laggy and overall not very good.

I just need storage, nothing fancy. Self hosting is not an option tough, at this time.

EDIT: I don't want to write the same answer 15 times, so I'll just put this here: Thanks a lot for the recommendations to all of you! I've got some reading up to do now :-)

For me personally, I split up my data into different cloud storage solutions depending on the sensitivity of the data, and frequency of access on the data.

For stuff I need quick access to, I use cryptomator with MEGA. MEGA has a pretty decent Linux App, but recommend using with cryptomancer or any sync-friendly encryption tool so that they can't read the data.

For stuff I infrequently access, I personally just use Proton Drive. Plan to fully switch to using them once they have a functional Linux desktop application that supports syncing.

For more sensitive stuff like SSH Keys or documents that might contain my sensitive personal information, I personally just use VeraCrypt and store the encrypted file on a thumb drive, backing it up to another thumb drive every week.
