In my opinion, iCloud isn't a viable alternative to Dropbox (as far as its "a folder that syncs" functionality). They work differently under the hood and iCloud Drive is tied to all your iCloud data, so don't even think about using it for non-personal things.
You cannot sign into iCloud Drive on a Mac and not also have a bunch of sensitive personal data placed on it.
I now use SyncThing. It works when it works, but sync often breaks/stalls/goes into proxy mode and I have to go in and do some voodoo to get things syncing correctly again.
Moving my all my Syncthing devices to Tailscale IPs has helped this quite a bit, but it still kinda sucks. Still preferable to paying Dropbox's ever creeping prices and feature bloat.
