Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?

The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

Chiming in, is there a solid OneDrive client for linux that just works? No collaboration stuff needed for it or other fluff, just simple file sync. I pay for OneDrive family and would be nice to be able to sync files with other ecosystems (Synology, Windows, Android).

There’s a commercial Linux client I was using called Insync and it was perfect. Only stopped using it because I switched away from Linux

@talizorah @desconectado @potemkinhr I'm using OneDriver and it seems to work pretty well! Search it on Github.

I use this, it's great and does seem to do automatic sync too.

This is the one I’m using as well. I use it to keep my work laptop running Linux in sync with the various Windows desktops I use in our offices. Works great for keeping my work keepass vault in sync.

I have a Backblaze B2 account I use for other things, I recently created a new bucket on it and attached it as a drive using s3fs. Works fine as far as I can tell (I’ve not used it much - prefer to keep things locally and just back them up off-site, which is actually what I have my B2 account for), so you certainly can do this with an S3 (AWS) compatible service.

I use Backblaze B2 buckets too, just use a cron job to sync stuff once a day (using it for backups). It’s not expensive and it just seems to keep on working. I also like their disc reliability reports they send out.

Is it encrypted prior to sending?

That’s what I use for backups of all my stuff. Restic runs and manages the backup process.

That’s what I do, too. Only thing is, I’m trying to figure out how to speed s3fs up because it’s pretty pokey. How well does it run for you?

I use kDrive and it works well with Fedora. Infomaniak, the company behind kDrive, is from my country, Switzerland. It uses a lot of renewable energy and the heat from their servers is used to heat buildings in my city.

Has anyone tried cryptpad.fr. I’m considering it, but I have yet to try it.

I switched to linux (POP OS) as daily driver recently. Using selfhosted nextcloud and had 0 issues installing client and syncing. Didnt try google and other big guys yet

SteadyGoLucky ,

Pop OS had me log into Google and I believe my Google Drive space was automatically mounted. Too easy :)

rambos ,

It is too easy, but It probably got mounted as network drive so you dont have files stored on pc (bonus if you are low on storage). At least that was case with my nextcloud, so I removed that account and installed app from store. Both ways are super easy, iphone dificulty

Network drive is perfectly fine if you are ok with that (no internet = no files and it will open files bit longer), but OP was asking for synced files on local drive. I selfhost cloud and I prefer sync so I can have one more copy stored on desktop

blackbrook ,

Tresorit has a Linux client.

buwho ,

i have multiple google drives synced right into my file manager…like i just click it, it mounts it, and drag stuff in and out as if it were local…i’m on debian with gnome. dropbox works the same way. obviously icloud and onedrive may be more difficult, but i’m pretty sure there is something formsyncing up onedrive, but i choose to disable one drive on all my windows devices.

jrandiny ,

Last time I tried, Dropbox has the best linux app. It even supports LAN syncing and integration with nautilus (ubuntu default file manager). However I need to move to onedrive because dropbox is just too expensive

FuckyWucky ,

with rclone you can mount cloud storage as a folder

NaoPb ,

I am currently using InSync on 64-bit devices and Overgrive on 32-bit devices. Overgrive works just fine on 64-bit devices tol but Insync is slightly more userfriendly.

I use my own NAS along with syncthing to backup and sync stuff across my phone, laptop, and desktop. Before that I was using mega.nz with its native Linux client, which worked fine sans a weird issue where it’d repeatedly transfer the same file forever.

Way back I also saw a paid 3rd party Linux-native app that supposedly works with all the major personal cloud carriers, though I never ended up using it and have long since forgotten what it’s even called.

thepiguy ,

I use Google cloud with nautilus, and before that I used google-drive-ocamlfuse on my Chromebook with custom firmware. All this just so I don’t have to use their stupid website.

I created filen account using https://filen.io/r/d5a92a596e8518e27b0db303e73e8107 so i got 20 GB storage. And it has linux appimage also.

Not to endorse, but Dropbox always seemed to work without issue. Again, several years since I used it.

But more seriously, Ubuntu One should never have folded.
