Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

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.

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.

with rclone you can mount cloud storage as a folder

Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I'm planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.

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

If you only need data storage, then seafile is your tool of choice.

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.
