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?

    MS has their privacy policy listed. You can read it and decide if it’s acceptable.

    I use a Synology NAS for the type of services you’re talking about. Their apps have some quirks but for the most part work. It costs me about the same as an m365 subscription to pay for a backup service, which if you think about it you should be backing up your m365 data too.

    If you have a place to keep a NAS powered and don’t mind managing your own hardware then it’s a decent option.
