I've had Office 365's subscription for years, mainly as it comes with 1TB of OneDrive cloud space. My NAS backs up to this space weekly and I also use it for storing documents etc.

I shifted to MacOS as my daily driver last year having become sick of Windows, and have moved my old gaming PC and a crappy Dell Inspiron to Linux Mint. The MacOS OneDrive client is however quite poor - often when I need it, it isn't even running and half the time it takes absolutely ages to sync correctly. On Linux the client isn't available period and I have to access it via web browser.

All I can think of is Dropbox to solve my situation, even though I'm not a fan of its UI. Does anyone here use it on MacOS? I am assuming it'll run just fine on Linux Mint but I'm not sure about the mac just yet.
 
OneDrive works perfectly for me, I used to have issues 2+ years ago or so but it’s working perfectly now.
I'll have to look at my install again then. Its very unreliable for me.

use icloud ?
I don't think iCloud will work for my purposes really. I've got 200GB but it isn't an ideal file storage solution for platforms that aren't Apple. Not to mention my NAS backups have zero chance using that one.

I think I'll take a look at Dropbox Free at some point and see how that behaves on MacOS and Linux I guess.
