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?

    Google drive integrates simply into the file manager on Gnome for cloud storage. It doesn’t do offline file-sync between devices, however.

    The Microsoft and Apple products don’t support Linux because… Microsoft and Apple.

        No, the Google Drive implementation is just for cloud storage. It doesn’t do offline file-sync. I’ll update my earlier comment.

      I managed to get one drive working on linux, able to mount it onto the filesystem using rclone.

        Yes, it’s often possible to get unsupported services working, but it’s rarely simple and it’s prone to breakage over time with changes to the system as well as to the service. I do not recommend it to anyone seeking a simple solution and I will not do it for someone I need to support.
