I'm surprised Lightroom takes care of syncing itself.
I use the nextcloud desktop client. It makes any directory a cloud directory which syncs automatically. Just point any software to it and as soon as a file is changed, it gets synced.
Yeah Lightroom has its own built in cloud storage solution that syncs your edits but not the originals. It does have some nice functionality, like being able to share custom albums online as a public or private gallery, but obviously just keeps you hooked on the Adobe ecosystem.
I went for pcloud over nextcloud a few years ago, as at the time, I just needed large off-site file storage and they have very good deals on multi-terabyte lifetime subscriptions. I am currently looking at setting up my own NAS though and will probably go with nextcloud for that.
