iCloud will always primarily be about Apple devices, which I like well enough and have several of, but maybe won't always. Microsoft's offering will probably be the same from the PC side of things. Google will offer me the world for free but data mine the hell out of it.
Dropbox seems to really care about cross-platform experience. Except in rare cases, it just works. It's just folders from my POV. And so... I pay them about $100 a year and they provide this service. Seems to have worked out pretty well for me.
- asdff 7y agoNo idea about linux users, but onedrive on mac is virtually indistinguishable to dropbox, but with more function with ms product integrations. These days it's been apple being lazy with cross platform, not microsoft.

- dflock 7y agoThe dropbox linux client works, but it's not great. It's recently stopped syncing for me because it now only supports ext4 filesystems, for some reason - and I currently have everything on btrfs.

- dflock 7y agoThanks, didn't know that. I think I'll just stop using Dropbox, though.
