[GUI-Talk] Accessible cloud storage alternatives to OneDrive (Linux + mobile)

[tshelly2000 at gmail.com]

I have found Google Drive to be an accessible alternative. When you install it on a Windows machine, it sets up a drive “G” that can be easily accessed using file explorer. There is also an app for iPhone that is pretty easy to use. I think you get 2GB of storage for free. I’ve used it for 2 or 3 years now and it all works well.

Subject: [GUI-Talk] Accessible cloud storage alternatives to OneDrive (Linux + mobile)

 

HI all,

I store all my files in Microsoft OneDrive and would like to get rid of that dependency as I'm working to replace my workflow with FLOSS tools where practical. Do y'all have recommendations for a cloud storage service which has  reasonably accessible  clients (I primarily use Fedora Workstation 43 but also use Windows 11, Android, and iOS), can sync to my local filesystem, and/or can appear in the GNOME desktop File Manager? I'm not interested in self-hosting something like Nextcloud,  OwnCloud, etc.

Any suggestions or firsthand experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Warmly,

--N. T. C.
