With recent bizarre behaviour by US Gov’t, some of us are looking to migrate files out of the USA, “just in case”. I’m looking at Icedrive, which has much improved Linux support since Fall 2023. However, I just tried with my trial account to establish either a Subversion or git repo. In both cases, the initialization failed because file permissions weren’t possible.
Have I done something wrong?

Not a reply, but an add-on that a try with pCloud allowed ‘svnadmin create testrepo’ to go ahead
and seemingly work. I haven’t tried commits etc. yet, however. Up to now I’ve been useing a VPS, but frankly would prefer to use a storage-only solution rather than maintain a Linux server. That is, I’m looking for a way to read/write files and let local OS do the svn or git stuff. I haven’t a good idea how many others may be out there with similar needs. In my case I do a lot of book writing, so version control with off-site backup of my work is a good idea.
Well not sure if you are looking for a generic back up. Or repo coding stuff. If you want coding maybe GitHub?
(What’s the iCloud let you do repositories?)
I use Subversion for writing books / novels (over a dozen). They have a lot of background research and many revisions, I have about 60 GB of material. Github / Gitlab have quite limited storage.
