> access my files on the go

on android, a number of ways to do that.

one example is my howto guide

i think the big issue, can you run rclone on the iphone itself or not?  
that will determine your possible solutions.

> Hetzner Storagebox

i have a big fan of that service.

what i do is rent the cheapest vm from hetzner in the same region as the storagebox.  
then can run `rclone mount` on the vm, using the files from storagebox.  
access the files secruly using tailscale.

another option, run a webdav or sftp server on the vm, pointing to the files in storagebox.  
from the iphone, access that webdav|sftp server
