The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

    For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It’s FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.

    For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It’s closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.

    Sorry for the lack of direct links since I’m on the phone.

      You don’t need insync - most people just automate rclone sync commands using whatever task scheduler their system runs by default (cronjobs or systemd units, typically). For those who prefer a GUI, KDE has a Scheduled Tasks app.

      On Android, you can use Round Sync which is a wrapper around rclone and can import the same configs.
