I looked at sync.com but they dont have a linux client. Any other non-US based suggestions? Canada preferred of course but I’m open to options.

I mean, if you’re on Linux, does one drive offer you something beyond samba? Maybe setup a web dav server?
I’m not familliar with other software from Canada, but there are a lot of european alternatives to OneDrive and afaik all of them host outside the US.
Proton Drive, Infomaniak’s kDrive, pCloud are all Swiss, and Filen and Nextcloud are German, with the latter being self-hostable. I have personally tried both Filen and pCloud and found them easy to use.
Hetzner Storage Share: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/. Hosted in Germany. It will be your own Nextcloud server with storage, calendars , reminders, and more. And you will be able to install many plugins. For example, you can install an OnlyOffice plugin that lets you edit files online like Office 365.
Oh, and there’s a Nextcloud client for Linux: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud
Hetzner works great (I still have the old 3€ 100GB option myself), but they explicitly state that OnlyOffice and Collabora cannot be used with StorageShare in the FAQ: https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/faq/additional-apps
I got it working by installing the plugin community Document Server: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/documentserver_community
Nextcloud is the way to go in my opinion. Hetzner is probably the cheapest option except self-hosting.
I’m using https://murena.io/ because they develop my phone OS, so I’m happy to leave behind a bit of money. I’m still saving a lot on having cancelled my Dropbox subscription.
Maybe check Hetzner shared storage. You can store in Finland if you want.
Depending on your needs, syncthing might be worth looking at. Here’s a copy/paste description.
“Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time”.
If you have two or more devices, it fulfills most of the same functions. But it doesn’t inherently provide offsite storage.
I use Stormweb, it is a Canadian Nextcloud host. I am moving all my tech out of US places, slowly family still uses FaceTime, so I needed something that I could back up my pi data.
kDrive and Proton Drive both fit the bill here, plus either option would drastically increase the privacy of your data compared to OneDrive.
Anyone considering Proton anything should probably read up on recent controversies before making the move. I profoundly regret signing up for proton mail.
Are they a US company?
According to the contact us page, they are in Switzerland.
With Linux support and zero knowledge encryption, i know of Tresorit(Switzerland) and filen(Germany). Tresorit is a bit costly depending on the space that you need. Filen had goods deal on black friday last year and is more affordable.
