That's what it actually is. If you look at cloudyo's comment history, its all about Duple.

I don't mind self-promotion on HN, especially if they built it themselves, but this is a bit much.

And unfortunately using multiple accounts too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21500881

Anybody know of any other privacy-oriented Dropbox/Drive alternatives?

I've been using Syncthing for years: https://syncthing.net/

It's entirely P2P, so no 3rd party hosting of your files, no trusting someone's crypto/update schemes, or having to set up your own servers (although you still can easily add it to a VPS if you want offsite). There's also a nice mobile app:

You can also securely share directories with another person who uses Syncthing, I've found autosync directories are easier than using something like Airdrop for sharing photos with family.

I don't know much about them, but Sync https://www.sync.com seems to be in this space.

Has a 5GB free tier, higher tiers cheaper than dropbox. Based in Canada if that matters.

I'm using them for years as a form of backup. Very reasonable priced, works flawlessly for me though I mainly use as a form of backup for a synced folder. GDPR compliant.

I've seen a HN poster promote filestash.app which looks like it's either self-host or hosted. I guess you might have to add in something like Spideroak, Backblaze, or tarsnap if you want to self host + backup.

Or Syncthing as others have pointed out.

I'm still thinking which is best.

Nextcloud is a wonderful bit of FLOSS, been using it for years now.
