Anyone have recs for cloud-backup providers?

I've pretty much outgrown my Dropbox free account, and they don't seem to offer any paid plan smaller than 2 TB (I am *not* paying $16/month for a space that I'm not even going to use 95%+ of for the foreseeable future).

Specs I'm looking for, in no particular order:

• Must have read-write access through both Ubuntu and Android (many providers do not do Linux; SpiderOak effectively does not do Android).



• Must sync entire cloud drive to both of the local computers, either by default or as a flipped-switch setting (none of this "short-list of favourite files to store locally: you can just pull any other file from the Internet as needed, right?").



• I would rather not use Google Drive.



• No more than $7/month, preferably less. (Monthly payment would be preferable, but I'm willing to consider annual.)



• However, should not be $0 either (or at least, should have *some* tier that is more than $0 but less than $7, even if the $0 tier would suffice for my current needs): I would like to be able to give them some money, so that they will feel the level of obligation towards me that one feels towards a customer.



• Linux client must have option for continuous sync. Android client must have option for "sync whenever I press this button (and at no other time)".



• I'm fine with having to keep files in a particular folder in order for them to be included in the backup.



• Android client must have option to store on SD card. (Being able to store part of it on the SD card and part in the main storage drive would be even better, but I can do without that.)



• *counts up data, including things I've been syncing manually to my phone because there isn't space in my Dropbox* ...30 GB would *probably* be enough to grow on for a while, though 40 would be preferable. I wouldn't say no to more than 40, but nor would I be willing to pay extra for it.
