After the horrendous recent Google Drive update I decided to give Dropbox a try for the first time in 8+ years, and the software quality has truly taken a decline. I’m considering switching to iCloud Drive at this point but I’m not a huge fan of how it works either. Any alternatives I should be aware of?

Microsoft said in a blog post that they’re working on Apple Silicon support (i don’t know if they already released it) and much better integration with the finder. Articles look really promising.

  Just tried all the big major cloud drive apps, and OneDrive was surprisingly much better than both Google Drive, Dropbox and even iCloud Drive on MacOS and iOS. Thoroughly impressed - thanks, I had not considered Microsoft.

I use syncthing with a digital ocean droplet. Never experience any issues.

  Storage is significantly more expensive on DO, no? Granted, the pros likely outweigh the cons.

    Probably. I didn't check. I don't store multiple tens gigabytes of data so it's very cheap anyway.

Have you given a look into Nextcloud? I've been running it on my own server and been having a great time with it. I haven't done any massive file syncs or anything. But been syncing Joplin, recipes and documents without issues with it.
