If it is true that Apple is forcing their hand here, then whatever competition you find isn't going to be much better, unfortunately.

- baby 4y agoUsually if you use apple devices you have to use apple apps. They tend to slowly kill the competition by improving things for themselves. So I would say iCloud is the way to go here.
- alpaca128 4y agoWhat do you mean? I've got two Macs without iCloud account and aside from Finder & Mail I use almost zero Apple applications. Seems to work quite well including two Nextcloud accounts (aside from general system instability), though I've not been on Mac OS for long yet.

- smoldesu 4y agoApple has a bit of a history removing software features from the Mac. Nvidia driver support, 32-bit application support, OpenGL support and GNU support has all been dropped by Apple over the years. The longer I owned my Mac, the less capable it became.
- t8sr 4y agoThe trivial proof that Apple can't be forcing them is that other services continue to offer a synced folder. Dropbox has been extremely vague about what exactly they're trying to do and why they have to do it this way. It seems like they made an unpopular/dumb product decision, and they're just trying to shift the blame onto someone else.
