I went with sync.com, but do not plan on renewing my subscription I only went with them because they offered a Nextcloud setup. I will be going with a self hosted Nextcloud setup when the time comes, or whenever I get around to getting a working NVMe drive for the pi 5 that does not have one.

I use 1Password, it is great no complaints. I do however plan on moving to Bitwarden in the future.

On Monday I am signing up for the CRA program that does your taxes for you. I do not make lots of money so it is a simple choice for me.

I use etransfer when possible as well.

I use wireguard for my VPN into my LAN so that I can use pihole to block ads. I also use unbound so that my ISP sees less of where my traffic is going.

    I use Bitwarden because it's free and they support FOSS.

    I do plan on trying 1Password at some point, but its expensive.

    Something like this might help you setup Nextcloud via Docker, and also other services https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook

    I am leaning towards going to Bitwarden, because it is FOSS as I have discovered that I may lean further left than a socialist. The mash-playbook you are suggesting has Vaultwarden in it, looking at the differences someone says Bitwarden is audited but Vaultwarden is not.

    I apologize I did not look to far into the other apps.
