the local-first data substrate i really want:

- a desktop app that syncs a folder between devices
- that backs up to cloud storage (ideally with an option to use my own S3-ish bucket)
- and lets apps remotely auth to a sandboxed folder or set of files

dropbox used to support this back in the day. does something like it exist now?

I think a lot of that could be done via NextCloud.
