I have a £1 per month VPS running nextcloud that has an equivalently cheap as chips s3 back end, which suits my use well enough.
That syncs all files between laptops / PCs / phones, and is configurable - my main PC syncs all files, laptops etc... sync virtual files only.
I also have a systemd service that uses rsync to sync between my PC and a local NAS (an off the shelf WD thing that also serves up media to my home network, but also syncs automatically to a WD cloud instance).
It's a pretty cheap & cheerful setup over all, which is probably more possible as I tend to stream & "purchase" most things, so don't have vast media libraries.

From the Android thread:
I guess it's unlikely I lose my PC and laptop in one go (save for robbery or house fire or something) and in that case I could just use my Glacier backups (and time to restore isn't an issue as I could be selective in what I brought down).
So maybe the answer is just to clean up, buy a 4TB drive for the laptop, buy a 2TB enterprise drive for the desktop and then use syncthing to keep the the whole lot (data, not OS) in sync between desktop and laptop and continue with the regular Glacier updates.
