Yes, competition is good.

It is just a problem when the competition is big tech and can ignore everybody else as they get even more money from somewhere else like Azure.

I think the there are better alternatives for backup like kopia and restic. Even seafile. Want protection against ransomware, storage compression, encryption, versioning, sync upon write and block deduplication.

But everybody can`t selfhost. That is a problem I am struggling with.

I am now sure what I would do about email, I assume it is affected as well?
