I use Syncthing: https://syncthing.net/

Totally distributed, works like magic. Being distributed means you do have to blindly trust a third party, but also that don't have to worry about $ per megabite. For example, one of the machines I have in my Syncthing network is a Raspberry Pi with a 3TB drive getting a backup of my laptop $HOME and important stuff from other machines all the time.

Is it a Pi 1? I tried for months to get it to work with it, but even overclocked, it was still too damn slow to function.

I love Syncthing, though, but I had to take the Pi out of the pool.

Yeah, admittedly I also tried with a Pi 1 but it was too slow, now I have a Pi 3 for that.
