Cloud Caper

One common experience with commercial online services is that they will eventually turn the screw, reducing services and increasing costs. Thus is the case with cloud storage, including DropBox, which has reduced services recently. So maybe you want to host your own cloud storage service. "Having spent time trying to do this for a little while," writes Ernie Smith, "I've started to realize why normal people don't do this." He looks at a variety of services, including NextCloud, which I've also tried, but concludes, "it's not for everyone, especially if you don't want to spend your weekends hunting down bugs." Other tools included Syncthing for file sync across a variety of machines and Backblaze for long-term cloud file storage. But for now, he writes, "the average person is probably better off with something like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, at least at this juncture." Via Aaron Davis.
