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!!
