Cloud Drive Accounts?

[Ncage1974]

Have any of you tried most of the cloud / File Syncing accounts like Dropbox? I have started to serious use my google drive and found out it was lackluster. I've had more than a few times where the sync messed up and got duplicate files/folders. My data is important and i don't trust it anymore. So i started using the Insync client for google drive. While the sync part has been great its got some major memory leaks:

Its even using more memory that that now 1.61GB and continually growing. If i restart the memory usage is fine but like i said it continually consumes more and more memory.

I can't use icloud because i need it to be cross platform. Dropbox is just to expensive at ~10 a month if you want over 2GB. I haven't given onedrive a try yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Right now i'm only syncing ~4GB.

There is an iCloud Drive app for Windows as well. It's based on the Microsoft Onedrive client and is available through the Microsoft Store.

I used Dropbox for a long time, but the software got more and more bloated over time. And once iCloud Drive started to beef up its feature set, I jumped ship and have mostly been happy with it. I spend $10/month but I have tons of stuff in there and the integration with Photos and other Apple apps makes it quite useful to me. Family Sharing means I can share my huge 2TB of quota with my wife which makes our lives simpler.

I do like how Dropbox is a lot more transparent about what its syncing, and gives you more control over everything. But for me the simplicity of iCloud Drive makes it good enough for me.

I used Google Drive ages ago, but the interface is just awful -- even using that Insync client you mention -- and I'm generally trying to use Google as little as I can get away with.
