"Scary cloud things" like this are why I moved off of Dropbox and Onedrive years ago and got to a new normal of "syncthing all my main devices together" for file sync, then have Backblaze backup my machine that holds the linux ISOs etc. that I'm not necessarily wanting to have redundant storage space used for them at that time.

Now, the failures are my own fault, but at least I can do offline backups to HDDs and BD-Rs, and I don't have to worry about any of the cloud services (TM) messing with my data and me having little recourse.

Yes, I could do separate backups of the cloud things too, but at that point, that just adds 'cloud service' as an option to the first part of the equation:

cloud device storage / local device sync (on and off-site) / NAS

+ offline on-site backups as HDDs & BD-Rs

+ online off-site backups

Doing syncthing with local device sync is cheaper than cloud device storage (recurring costs) and NAS (fixed costs / hardware maintenance)
