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 :-)

I've been using pcloud. You can choose for the data to be hosted in EU. Doesn't have a client but works well with rclone (and Round Sync on Android). And from time to time they offer "lifetime" package - no subscription

I have a pCloud client running on my EndeavourOS system. I think it may be an appimage, but it updates no problem when they release one. Releases page: https://www.pcloud.com/release-notes/linux.html

Ah. Then it must have not fit my use-case at the time. I don't remember

Can you define which remote dir should be synced where? That might have been my issue

I can't recall if that can be done, but it doesn't sound familiar. I'll look later and update if I see anything like that.

UPDATE: There is a "Sync" config item that allows you to define a Local Folder and a corresponding pCloud Drive Folder. It looks like you can define a local folder, but then the 'pCloud folder' is any folder you have in your pCloud drive, existing or new. Could that be what you're looking for?
