You can use syncthing and not have to rely on cloud storage or pay for anything. I use it to keep my ebook library synchronized across devices and it does the job.

I feel bad for saying this but I pay for onedrive because it was the best way to make a synchronised library of ebooks that I can use offline in my tablet.
Yes every other cloud storage solution was more expensive or outright didn’t support it for some god forsaken reason. Some needed you to manually press a download button. Drive needs you to manually set every file to available offline and even then it won’t work all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely take a look at it and hopefully I’ll be able to drop onedrive if it all works out :)

I pay for OneDrive partly for the offline folders option, after I found that Google Drive didn’t always keep files marked to use offline on my phone.
But recently I tried to view a file in an “offline” folder and it had to download it. I confirmed this in airplane mode with another.

I also use one onedrive for cloud sync even though I haven’t touched windows in a while now. but rclone works great on it. 1tb onedrive comes with my business email subscription

And then they start scanning your files, for your safety and “the children”. Find something they don’t like. Might even be perfectly legal, and close your account. Because AI…
Puff, gone are your files and you have zero way to appeal.
There is NO cloud… only someone else’s computer…
