Looks like I'd be spoiled for choice if I was just looking to get away from US-based companies and would settle my data in Europe, but ideally it'd be as local as possible (setting up a microPC under a desk at my girlfriend's place may be the option I go with but a commercial operation with a financial plan - which is roughly the same longevity-inducing logic I use to choose Mastodon servers - would be preferable).

@timixretroplays@digipres.club how much admin are you willing to do and does the company's location matter, or just data location? You could spin up Nextcloud on a DigitalOcean VM with Spaces object storage (or other hosts probably) in an Australian datacenter for less than US$20 per month, which seems like a decent option depending on what exactly you want. If you're looking to move a lot of data then the egress fees for Spaces could be an issue (1¢/GB after the first TB).

@timixretroplays@digipres.club Host at home and use an dynamic DNS server, is one thought. I think even cloudflare now has some options for this.

@timixretroplays@digipres.club would #Syncthing be an option for you?

@timixretroplays@digipres.club IceDrive is based in Gibraltar and had dependable syncing when I tested it a couple years ago. Not sure how the pricing is in AU$.

@timixretroplays@digipres.club +1 for @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz . I replaced Dropbox and all office tools (documents, calendar, contacts, calls). I'm hosting at home, but you can easily use VPS. Setting it up and managing via @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr is flawless!

@timixretroplays@digipres.club Might this be an option? Hetzner managed NextCloud server ; you can get 1TB for max 4.29 € (7 AUD) a month. Servers in Germany https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/ EDIT: oops, More replies loaded after I posted this and I see you’ve been recommended this already and that you prefer something closer to home, sorry!

@timixretroplays@digipres.club You best option is a mix, I use Contabo for many years without performance issues etc, if you know how to keep your Nextcloud up to date, go for it. But with small storage, because your big data storage will be at Backblaze using S3 bucket storage https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/amazons3.html https://www.backblaze.com/

@timixretroplays@digipres.club Hetzner is offering 1TB of managed Nextcloud for 5,11€, which is pretty awesome. Don't know about their international offers though. https://www.hetzner.com/de/storage/storage-share/
