Hello, I am an educational psychologist who is an Associate Professor and department chairperson at Shawnee State University (southern Ohio, US). #introduction

Neural net + jello
WHAT HAS OCCURRED CANNOT BE UNDONE
I have trained a neural net on a crowdsourced set of vintage jello-centric recipes
I believe this to possibly be the worst recipe-generating algorithm in existence
Q: Online file storage/sync?
I have just assumed that #Nextcloud was the given replacement for #Dropbox, but it isn't.
What I need is a cross-platform sync service with online HTTP sharing, like Dropbox, but perhaps even with WebDAV access or other methods of remotely accessing files.
I have used Dropbox for ages, but it has become pricey of late.
Any suggestions?
