I’ve been happy with Fastmail for 10 years, though they’re Australian and not European. Might look into a European alternative at some point but so far I’ve had no reason to switch.

Isn’t this kinda what the controversy around the ElastiSearch licensing change was about? I think people have had similar frustrations with HashiCorp software, but I don’t know the details.

Isn’t it a local filesystem though, so I can’t expand the filesystem with other drives on my network?

That’s very helpful because glusterfs and ceph are probably my top two candidates. Will probably try it out.
