I don't think he meant to imply using external-to-you "cloud" providers (gdrive, dropbox), but rather creating his own personal "cloud".

I've used Nextcloud in these situations, it's actually pretty good with slower connections. Since everything is a (machine-)local copy, in addition to being stored centrally; something I work on "here(tm)" gets updated "everywhere" shortly after I've saved the document. I've only really ever run into problems with it when there was a godawful slow connection with a machine that'd been offline for 2 weeks while I was on vacation (and I forgot to spin it up at home before heading out) -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
