I just finished using rclone to pull down my whole Dropbox last night. I'm closing my account today. Their app was a piece of crap that never worked for me anyway.

I'm going to look at rsync.net simply because their people hang out on here.

Note depending on the amount of storage, rsync.net is substantially more expensive. For $100 a year you can get 2TB of storage with Google Drive, which works flawlessly with rclone. Additionally, for roughly $80 you can get 15+months of Office 365 Family which provides 1TB of storage each for up to 6 users which also works with rclone and restic.

For the same storage with rsync.net you could be looking at $500.00/month, and I believe that is with single-location storage.

Yowch. I didn't realize the price difference was so substantial. I have GDrive and OneDrive accounts too. OneDrive's Windows integration works great. I'm just trying to get away from Google and Microsoft tie-downs because I don't trust their ability to give me support if I got locked out of my account for some reason.
A reminder that there is a "HN Readers" discount - just email info@rsync.net and ask about it.
How about have some transparent competitive pricing on your website?
