I agree but there's no great cross-platform syncing solution yet, to my knowledge. Dropbox dropped all linux support except ext4, which is limiting. GDrive and OneDrive don't have a Linux Client. Nextcloud is neat, but still not very well supported (eg, by android apps).
The result is I'm using a mishmash of all those, and keep forgetting what is synced where.
- bachmeier 6y agoI've been using pcloud on Linux, and I've found it to be fast and easy. Comes with a lot more free storage than Dropbox. I believe you do have to be willing to install their client.
- LoveMortuus 6y agoFor Google Drive there is a solution for Linux [0]. I actually really like it, it's not automatic, but that's not really a problem, because you can make it automatic with some bash and crontab. [0] https://github.com/odeke-em/drive https://github.com/odeke-em/drive
- rodelrod 6y agoI agree with you. The Dropbox move turned my previously smooth workflow into a much more convoluted system. For GDrive (I use that for work), [insync](https://www.insynchq.com/ https://www.insynchq.com/) is not 100% perfect but was worth the one-time price.
- c17r 6y agoI use Odrive as my syncing “frontend” and works great even with Linux
- PudgePacket 6y agoI have syncthing running on desktop, laptop, and phone. Only downside is no iOS app but that's more an apple ecosystem issue really.
- wadkar 6y agoI am surprised you didn’t mention syncthing! Is it because you’re assuming a cloud backup is necessary component of syncing solution? In that case, you can just designate one of your synced devices to keep backups to S3/B2 :D
