Jottacloud is a pretty neat cloud storage provider (sopuli.xyz)

They offer 5GB of storage in their free plan, which is enough for my use case of storing important files while my other files are backed up in my little self-hosted Nextcloud. (so should my Nextcloud instance go bad, my important files are still in the cloud!)

They are based in Norway, and importantly, they have a really easy to use Linux client, which you don't often see with cloud storage providers. On Linux, you can use their simple CLI tool to select which folders to backup and everything is done in the background, it's awesome! They also offer a Windows and macOS client as well if you stick with the corporate overlords (perhaps there is software that you need for professional workflows, idk), but I haven't tested those out.

I see thanks. I think it should be important for everyone, because companies will use your private data to get money (sell them to data brokers, advertise based on the data, etc) and governments may change and may use your data against you in the future, USA is a good example of how things can get very wrong real fast.
