  2. Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.
    If you want to find and organize duplicates on disk, then there are other tools for that. I'm not particularly familiar with them, but you might try starting with czkawka which looks pretty featureful. The github page also compares it with a couple other similar tools. Otherwise you could try searching for "find duplicates" in /r/datahoarders or /r/selfhosted for ideas.

    rsync for cloud storage.

    While your recommendation totally makes sense for this use case, I just wanted to add that s3fs is probably not the way to go with Borg if you're trying to use it with generic cloud object storage—for all the reasons you mention. Instead, my understanding is that Borg users often use rclone or similar to sync a local Borg repository to cloud storage. Much more reliable, but the downside is it requires extra local storage.
