Some background on me, I’m big on data privacy, I’ve stripped out a lot of services which harvest data and sell it. The last scummy bastion is Google Drive and Google Docs. I make use for G-Drive for backup redundancy and accessing things from any where, especially on my phone. Spreadsheet of my favorite horror movies, or a list of Genesis or PS1 games I’m still hunting for, stuff like that.

So my question is, would OneDrive and M365 Personal paid subscriptions work for my use case? Anyone here have experience using those services?

    That’s the same thing dude, zero difference.

    If you want to keep using those cloud services, maybe use https://cryptomator.org/, which encrypts all your files in your cloud folder (and you mount the folder locally to decrypt). That way you can use the sync service, but keep the content of your files private.

    If you want to get away from cloud services, you could host your own file sync. For example with Seafile. But for that you need to rent at least a virtual server and throw some money in (also spend an hour or two setting it up).
