If you really want remote storage then "pacman -S rclone" can handle a 
very great many of them; please see https://rclone.org/ and "man rclone" 
for complete information.

"rclone config" will let one establish a configuration file to access a 
remote storage; I arbitrarily named mine "gdrive:" to access my Google 
Drive cloud storage. I have a directory called /root/gdrive, so to mount 
it only takes "rclone mount gdrive: /root/gdrive". This command can be 
placed above "exit 0" at the end of /etc/rc.local if one wants to 
automate it.

This makes the Google Drive cloud storage appear to be on the local 
filesystem, so that e.g. "ls -lRh /root/gdrive" has the expected results 
for the remote storage.
