I was gonna suggest onedrive but realized they don't have a linux client. Honestly for linux, dropbox might be your best bet...



What makes you say onedrive is better than Dropbox?


Because of its close integration with Office 365, and it's cheaper.


You said it wasn’t the best file syncing... office 365 integration doesn’t seem to suggest that one drive is a better file syncer... especially because Microsoft owns office. I’d expect that. Gdrive does Gsuite integration, but I wouldn’t knock other services for not having that.

I’ve seen many other services have major issues syncing files... dealing with conflicts, corruption, random file types like issues around Mac resource forks and file-folder types, etc. I’ve seen weeks of work get lost because gdrive stopped syncing, then when resuming overwrote all of a colleagues updated files.

Dropbox has solved all such problems.. in part because they’be been around forever, but also because they’ve hired great talent to do nothing but sync. I trust them way more on that core competency.
