Well, I'm looking for something that will link up to a cloud backup service without a host computer. I can make a synology disk connect to a few different providers, but I think those are all commercial grade services (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm trying to do this for a residential setup where all they have is laptops and they don't want to leave their computers at home for a few weeks while the backups propagate to the net.
Thats exactly what NAS does, backing up or storing the data without the need to be connected to a host computer.
Configure the NAS with the cloud, or configure the NAS to be accesible from outside using the portforwarding on router.
The time will depend on the speed of the end to end link between the receipient host and the NAS.

No real alternates to NAS drives that would work with other residential grade cloud services were proposed.
