I work as a photographer and used unlimited dropbox in the past. Now that DB has capped their business tier to 5TB, I’m searching for an alternative. I currently have about 25TB of data. Yearly I add about 5TB. My main computer is a Macbook Pro.
My current (dropbox) workflow: I import & edit files on an external SSD. I keep those files on there until they finish uploading. When I’m done with the project, I flag them as “online only” so there is a copy on the server when I need it, and my SSD has more free space.
I know Dropbox isn’t technically a backup-service. But for my purpose it does everything I want from a back-up: no loss of data and limited version history.
What I’m looking for is a way to keep my current workflow but without dropbox and ideally with a cloud backup system.
I’m mainly looking into NAS (synology) but can’t find a solution that ticks of my boxes. Synology Drive doesn’t do selective sync on external SSD for example.
Thanks!!
Please don’t rely on only one cloud service like Dropbox. If not already, keep 1 more copy backed up locally.

Yeah, a giant home NAS that automatically uploads things to S3 with a lifecycle rule to automatically move rarely used files to S3 Glacier.
