A Synology/QNAP/TrueNAS NAS is a far better solution, with no restriction.

We all are probably guilty of falling for the convenience trap here or there. But setting up the sync between Dropbox and the NAS (Synology user here) with a one-way, don't delete, don't overwrite policy is a good lifeline to have - you know, just in case...
I'm a big advocate for running a NAS, but using a service like Dropbox means there's one fewer personal device that needs babysitting.
QNAP does not seem secure at all, IMO its not worth it. I have not used the others you mentioned.
You would still need somewhere to do off site backups to.

(Edit: changed offline to offsite)

Isn’t that what a Synology offers? An offline backup?
Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I meant offsite.
