Yes. I discovered Syncthing last night on a list of Google Drive
alternatives that also included SpiderOak. That's my short list for the
moment.

Although SpiderOak has captured my attention as they have an annual
transparency report, they're mostly open-source, their work on the Crypton
framework <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypton_(framework)>, "a
JavaScript framework for building applications where the server doesn't
know the contents it's storing on behalf of users.", and they've
open-sourced their encrypted password manager, and secure chat app.

It's also a paid service, $6/mth, which allows me to financially support
people furthering the development of this much needed technology.
