I've tried this once or twice but always end up not using it because I don't trust myself to keep a server up.
Would you consider hosting your own Nextcloud through a provider like Hetzner a nice intermediary step?
Just got to have a backup. I have children so for pictures anything Google is just not doable. Nextcloud on my home NAS, nightly backup to Amazon Glacier (super cheap to store because it's expensive to retrieve) in case of a catastrophic failure (like fire). Every month or so backup the files to an external drive.
Yes. Hetzner's offering is reliable and not too expensive. You do trade off a lot of the privacy and flexibility though.
