Any recommendations for long term backups thats linux, windows, and android friendly? Idrive is just almost unstable at this point.

Restores aren't working properly. Mini cant download in bulk. You gotta click every file. And then i also had an entire couple folders disappear in cloud drive. And no it wasn't because of my phone backing up. They just vanished. The encrypted login feature has got to be in someway vaulnerable because for a split second i can see the folders by name in my cloud before the enter pin prompt covers the screen. Or sometimes i get a terminal looking type of crash when it forgets to prompt my account and just leaves me endlessly waiting for it to come up. Downloads are incredibly slow. I have 400mbps internet and im getting 3mbps. On Linux and android. I mostly store my stuff in case i become homeless again. Not something i see happening again but boy was i glad to have a full year of cloud storage when it did. Thats why i went with idrive. Cheap yearly plans. Plus the ability to backup my phone or a whole disk image. And also the express was key selling point. Seems like they just completely ripped the rug out from underneath personal users. Completely made the program that got them where they are so glitchy that even windows 11 blushes. Core revenue. Og users. Just hung out to dry. I was thinking about just saying screw it I'll stay but between the empty folders and extremely painful process of downloading a small 60gb that has 40k files. And the fact that im sure idrive express is gonna be chopped in the future do to the business focused approach they've took. Not many businesses need a bulk hdd to transfer. They just use their 2500 dollar fiber plan from their own servers and cut the wait. So if anyone has any recommendations im all ears. Someone with a good record and long term storage and should be safe is up my alley currently. Encryption is meh. I can just aes 256 my folders before i upload them if they have anything of value on them in that case. Anyone else experiencing this? Or am i late to the party?
