>I find it pretty amazing how most people are now OK with a third party keeping a copy of every document and photo of their lives.
I am not OK. But I dont have a cheap or affordable, easy enough solution either. 99.999% ( Dare I say 100% ) of solution offered on HN are not consumer friendly. They either go into 321 backup mode, ZFS on TrueNAS, BTRFS, or Self Hosting Linux as easy enough. That is like in 2000 someone showcasing to me how easy it was to use linux.
I want a Time Capsule, appliance like devices where setting up should be easy plug and play. And unless NAND price stays at the current level ( they are selling at cost or lost already ) It will be a long time until we could get a 2x2TB iCloud Server at home for something like $299.
I also want to state syncing isn't just about convenient either. It is about lock in, it is about iCloud Storage, it is about Service Revenue. Apple now has ~700M paying services customers.
