Question to the #Mastodon community

After my negative experience with #DropBox
https://infosec.exchange/@realn2s/110200718918101674

Any recommendations for a (self-hosted) alternative? For a self hoste version I would really like the option to (securely) mirror it offsite (e.g team up with others and safe the data of each other. Ideally with E2E encryption)

@nextcloud looks most promising. But I don't know how the mirroring could be accomplished. The status and functionality of Open Cloud Mesh could be interesting.

#Boost is welcome

Everything is fine now. Backup was restored successfully (AFAI can Know). Contrary to all rumours, it took somewhere between 3 and 4 hours. Nevertheless, it didn't feel too good that i had to depend on my backup 😬 Takeaways #Dropbox wasn't restored successfully. And Dropbox files are NOT on disk when Dropbox isn't working 😖. I bet the files will be somewhere but I consider this (intentional) bad UX. IMHO this is a kind of user-lock-in. If you uninstall Dropbox your files are gone 🤬

@realn2s if you're ok with a bit more old school-ness, maybe a set of synology nas? dropbox like app for sync (including on mobile) and offsite.
