  > How reliable are cronjobs in termux?

I mean it is no systemd... cron is cron. As long as termux is running they run. Just make sure google doesn't kill it and that it starts on boot. I haven't really had issues tbh.

  > Does they get killed if you're low on memory?

Honestly, no idea. I've never pushed my device that hard. 8GB is quite a lot for a phone.

  > Perhaps you could share these scripts somewhere?

I should have posted with my realname account. I did put them in my dotfiles but I can't share that repo without doxing myself. Is there something you're specifically interested in?

  > Personally I use Nextcloud

That seems like a good route too. Would you recommend this over my setup? I find my current setup pretty easy tbh but hey, nothings perfect and it can always be better, right?

That's what I mean. How can you make sure of that?

No, I already have a setup that's working for me.

Well, it depends. Nextcloud is a full Google Workspace replacement basically, including files sharing, office, notes, kanban, calendar, emails, chat, video calls, photo management. I use it for my business (and it's great) so I just use some spare storage for my own backups.

Probably overkill unless you want the other features.
