restic + rclone = Google Drive backup with snapshots and dedupe. Not sure if you are just unaware, or didn't take the time to look into anything else.


There's an infamous comment on the Dropbox launch that addresses this better than I can, but I can't find it. Suffice to say: yes, I'm aware there are solutions I can put together that are more work than I care to do to maybe save some portion of $65 a year. Putting those snapshots on Drive would tear through (expensive) space fast, so I'm not sure it's a savings. Backblaze provides incremental backup for my entire SSD. Even more if I ever fill that empty bay. I don't even pay for Drive since few things I do benefit from syncing, so this would probably cost more and be worse.
