What do you suggest for basic cloud storage to access as a web disk?

[Paddy Landau]

I'm looking for a simple setup. I want cloud storage to access as a web disk, so that I can use it for backups (using either rsync or rdiff-backup). It would be like my local backups, only off-site.

I currently require less than 100Gb, but that will probably gradually, slowly, increase over time.

The minimum requirements are:

• Reliable company (Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft come to mind, but I'm aware that there are many others)
• Encrypted storage isn't necessary, as I'd use a LUKS file as a virtual disk to hold the data on their end (although lack of encryption probably indicates that the company doesn't take security seriously)
• GDPR-compliant, so servers based in the UK or the EU would be sensible (and probably have better connectivity)

My primary concern here is cost. I'd like something cheap, as I would use this only for an "in case" backup — if my computer and all my local backups are lost through, say, a meteorite strike (or, more likely, theft or fire).

Thanks

Thank you for those ideas, @dragonfly41.

That first one took me by surprise. I didn't realise that the government kept a list like that! It's long. I'll have to trawl through it!

Tresorit doesn't seem quite what I'm after; it is a managed system that requires you to install an app. I want a plain web disk; I don't need any fancy stuff. However, the price is (relatively) cheap. I'm sure that I can get cheaper for what I'm after, though.

I will keep ProtonDrive development on my radar screen
