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?
I see, IOPS may be network limited I suppose. In that case there are other tools that would use the folders on your PC as storage and sync it to GDrive (mostly backup tools) but they’re almost all command line tools. NextCloud and Seafile have sync clients that work like you’re expecting, I think Google’s GDrive client did as well but Google killed that.
However, if you’re writing scripts and other code, I recommend looking into version control rather than synchronising these files over Drive. Git and friends is much more suitable for this stuff, plus you get the ability to quickly go back to an earlier version of your files if you ever make a mistake.
