One thing that I would also suggest folks who are resonating with this piece consider...

Local copies of important information on your mobile device. Generally your laptops are not going to see much use. Mobile apps tend to fake local data and store lots of things to the cloud. We tend to ignore such things like backups and local copies nowadays. Most of the time we can get away without any worry here but consider keeping a copy of things like medications and their non commercial names for situations like this as well.

Syncthing is the way! Along with the Material Files app from F-droid, I finally get to have a file based workflow on Android.
