What is the best cloud storage provider for Linux?


Hi HN. I am looking for cloud storage, which has: - sync on demand - can be mounted as a drive on Linux

For servers, I would go with a S3 compatible cloud storage. You can mount is as a drive on Linux using a FUSE S3 client.

The best S3 compatible cloud storage depends on your location, your needs, your budget. Remember to check the bandwidth cost. For example, AWS S3 is overpriced by design if you use it to download files outside AWS.

Maybe something that works with rclone? https://rclone.org/#providers

I like Tresorit, works quite well on Linux, has end-to-end encryption and can mount your files as a user filesystem. Syncing works pretty well, too.

AWS S3 has been the best in my experience, if you can afford the egress fees.
