Nextcloud developers: Google is curtailing our Android app
For months, Nextcloud users have only been able to upload media data via the Android app. The developers blame Google and accuse it of being intentional.
I need to assist a nonprofit in choosing:
1. A google-drive equivalent
2. A cloud backup service
3. A tiny server to host a tiny Django app for mostly private use
I can easily find any number of services to deal with the first two (which can easily be one, of course) but it would be great if I could find a provider that offers all three together.
Does the #hivemind have suggestions? Europe-based, because GDPR and to avoid random executive orders.

I saw today that my CoCalc (https://cocalc.com/) license was about to renew. I've been meaning to move to a more #SelfHosting or #P2P paradigm, so this was good timing for me to cancel. I left this message when doing so:
"I want to support Sage, and I like using CoCalc, but I don't want to put money towards a service that supports Microsoft, Amazon, or OpenAI in any way. I didn't care so much about this before, and I even log in to CoCalc with a GitHub account, but I'm tired of having my work scraped for profit by people who donate to fascists who are destroying my nation. I would consider returning if all ties to these corporations were cut and cloud computing services came from responsible companies, perhaps in the EU."
I'm pretty sure I already have backups of everything I want from GitHub, so I can be done with them too. I should have quit when Microsoft first arrived. My plan is to switch to Radicle (https://radicle.xyz/) rather than another centralized service. I'll be sure to post about how that goes.
