Why not just self host? What happens when/if their service goes down without any warning? You lose everything?
Got my things all on a server with RAID for redundancy and backup weekly to an external (encrypted) device, monthly to another that doesn't stay at home. Also means I don't have to rely on the Internet to use all my services if the ISP goes down, the firewall explodes, etc. Self hosting is the way to go!
You have all locally, the remote is just an encrypted backup
Ah, I misunderstood you mounting the system in as your main, not a backup. Gotcha!
