    Not really the same thing, but I switched from Google Drive to Syncthing. It’s not as secure in terms of “chance of losing your data”, but I’m replicating data on my main PC, on my phone and on my RPi Zero and this is good enough for me, at least for now. Ideally I would periodically encrypt and upload every synced folder to the cloud (just because it’s encrypted), but that’s for another day.

      Syncthing is absolutely amazing, but it doesn’t serve the same purpose as google drive, drive is more of a backup solution. syncthing is not that.

      With your current setup if you get some ransomware that encrypts your files in any of your devices you’ll lose access to your files in all of them.

      Syncthing is S tier software, but it’s explicitly not a backup solution.
