I've been using infomaniak for a while which suits my needs pretty well. It's mostly intended for businesses but it's very usable as an individual. Lots of storage for a decent price too and has all the functions you mentioned. Hosted in Switzerland.

When you pay people back through the app they take a small commission of the settlement. Other than that it's probably also not a very expensive app to run due to its simple nature.

I don't know what bike theft is like in your area, but here in nl all bikes have a rear lock that's mounted to the bike like these to keep the rear wheel secure. In the big cities people also usually attach their bikes to solid objects using a chain through the frame and the front wheel. I would be more concerned about your lock- such string locks are very easy to cut through with a bolt cutter. My recommendation would be to get a strong chain link lock with a plastic sleeve. I'm sure you can find such locks online where you live.

Thanks for the fact check. Always crazy to see such an (at first glance) respectable medium spread such fake news.

This doesn't read so much as a hot take and more like a cry for help. I'm sorry to hear that you have been having a hard time with your son. Any divorce is difficult, and having a child with special needs certainly doesn't make it easier.

I of course don't know the whole situation, but based on what you've written here, I would reccommend two things. First, at your next sessions with your son's therapist, you might ask her if she knows, or has information on where to find, someone who can help you with parenting and divorce from your perspective. It's important to remember that the therapist is always on your side, and you need not be embarrassed to ask her about such things.

Second, I think it might be valuable to search for other autistic parents and/or children in your area so you can share experiences and tips. Your son might also appreciate meeting children who are more like him, especially later on. Perhaps you can find parenting groups online, or you might ask the therapist about this as well.

Whatever you choose to do, I wish you a lot of strength and success.
