I have been using iCloud to synchronize files for more than I can remember. Recently, I became a little annoyed by the political and privacy situation in the united states of america, and I decided to move away from Apple’s iCloud.
Instead of deploying more tools on my homelab like NextCloud or WebDAV, I went with a decentralized solution that surprisingly removed the need to self-host servers for other use cases too!
