Somewhat late, but: I’d say the approach of Dropbox can be an advantage. At least this way it is absolutely clear, what is being synchronized. With other services, I’ve shot myself in the knee with configuration mistakes.

But yes, having the option is nice. So you do with Dropbox; Just use symlinks. I am synchronizing selected %APPDATA% folders that way.

I’m trying Mega, since dropbox now does not accept encrypted filesystems on linux. It looks nice, but for me it doesn’t work.
Every time I move a file to the MEGAsync folder, or I edit it, it takes many seconds, sometimes minutes, to sync. If I’m going to turn my computer off, I must wait. The first day I moved about 200 MB of small files to the folder. It took like half an hour to upload them.
It’s not that the connection is slow, the client just spends its time “Waiting” to connect. You never know how much time will it take to sync.
I suspect it’s trying to convince me to upgrade to a Pro account. Neither this will work.

I have Mega, Dropbox, and Google Drive. I used Nativefier to wrap Google Drive for my desktop and DriveSync keeps it in sync. It works well, in fact, it is as close to being like the Windows/MacOS Google Drive experience as it gets on my beloved Linux box.

The Nativefier/Electron/Node.js platform is growing and expanding its capabilities so I am betting that in the near future I will be able to add it to the panel. It may even be able to sync, itself, one day. Or, maybe not.

Until then, it works pretty well as it is. Have you checked out YandexDisk? Like MegaSYNC it has a lot of free storage and a client for Linux.

In reply to Fila.

I use it and it is excellent.
Strange that it is seldom mentioned in these surveys.

I agree with you.
