Hey congrats! If you're exploring, I've had great success with the free tiers on sync.com (cloud storage) and notion (notes). I also have the iOS sad re:syncthing, which I use almost exclusively now.
If you want to try sync get yourself an invite from an existing user for free extra gigabytes. They're a solid, sensible company and their free tier is more than enough for the few things I need handy on my phone.
I tried both notion and obsidian and for some reason notion just stuck for me. I like that I can share notes with coworkers. Ever note went down the tubes a few years ago, which was a drag.
Edit: reading that back I sound like a fucking shill. I do not get kickbacks lmao. Just wanted to share the programs that help when I can't self-host.
I’m struggling to find where I heard about this, but if you post to Twitter (or I guess it’s X now) and tag @Sync, they should get back in touch with you and offer you a bonus 10GB for the positive outreach.
Since I don’t know about where I heard about the offer originally, the next best thing might be my post which Sync responded to as evidence of the bonus. Along with one or two other bonuses which one may have been a referral, I’m at 17GB on the free account which is pretty decent, and certainly not as burdensome as the referral process one has to go through with Dropbox to grow the free tier there.
They’re a great service from the time I’ve spent with it and worth a go.
That's awesome, thanks for tip! I'm at 13GB and tbh it's not worth 10GB for me to touch Twitter lol, but I'll check out the other options.
Honestly I'm just happy to get the word out and support a cloud provider that isn't (as far as I can tell) fking creepy. I like the company, I'm as confident as I can be in the security of the platform, and want people to develop stuff like that.
