Thanks, Walter. I do host our own: owncloud (the one nextcloud forked off), and I do have my important data synced through it. There are though on android device applications that you can not configure to store data in different location from what programmer programed in. These go to /data/data on android, and I can do nothing about these. Say, if I want that place to be inside what ownclud (nextcloud) syncs, permissions of android system will stop me from accessing it on the device anyway. Overcoming which will need rooting the system. Dough.

Anyway, Apple device gives cost of its built for big consumer base without portion of cost covered by other interested parties... In other words, the old truth stands: you pay anyway (if not money, then by something else).
