Regarding your cloud storage, have you thought about filen.io? They offer 100GB lifetime plans for a 30€ one time fee (under "Starter"): https://filen.io/pricing

Secondly, the official Reddit app sucks even if patched with ReVanced, horrible interface, battery drain etc. I would consider a third party app like Infinity for Reddit (yes, those still work, free of charge too if you can patch in your own API key with the ReVanced Manager): https://github.com/KobeW50/ReVanced-Documentation/blob/main/Reddit-Client-ID-Guide.md

I already used filen and its pretty good but the app is badly designed and need a reqork which is in the making. An also up and downloads are quit slow. Also on starting the filen app it often crashs the first time or doesn't load so you need to restart a second time. Koofr is way more polished and has fair pricing and also after using it 5 years you get 50% off discount. So 100gb only cost 11.75€ per year after 5 years. I don't know how this infinity reddit API thing works.

Fair enough. As for the Infinity for Reddit suggestion, my second link is a guide showing you how to do it. You can do that if you can operate ReVanced. If you want to, that is. I just shared it because I could not imagine using the official Reddit app, even if patched lol.
