"I understand the concept of how cloud storage works: "hey, we'll look after it for you, back it up and stuff, and all you need to do it pay us a small monthly fee"."

If only there was a cloud storage provider that gave you an empty UNIX filesystem to do whatever you like with.

Maybe a proper .ssh directory to populate with your own keys and authorized_keys directives ?

Bonus points if it's a zfs filesystem with a .zfs/snapshot directory in the root.
