"Parent-proof" as in 'they are old and clueless users' (a bit like myself) or as in "I'm a minor and I don't want my parents to get a look into my por... personal library of cute images" ?
Half-trolling here but not completely: if you're a minor, there is very little ways to put any of your data out of reach of your parents.
As for cloud backups. I don't know much alternatives to Backblaze (I used to one of their customers) but I now use European based cloud storages as backups. It works depending the volume of data:
They both have mobiles apps, if you need that.
Filen is the less 'user friendly' of the two (nothing that bad either, it's just.. less polished and somewhat clumsier) but the most secure and privacy respecting as far as I can tell. Both are working well once they're configured. I really love Infomaniak's simplicity to be honest. It's also simpler to share stuff with other people.
Fair point, I meant parent -proof as in I can set it up on their computer and don't need to fiddle with the CLI every now and then to get it back up running. Basically set and forget.
Edit: Looks like Filen will no longer offer lifetime plans for the pro tiers.
