I’m happy with it in general, but it feels like iCloud has a higher sync latency than some other services like OneDrive. And because it is a black box, there is no way to force sync it. I would drop a file for example to sync up to my old MacBook that acts as a CNC controller, walk over and OneDrive would reliably be there. iCloud however…


Yes I sometimes have to airdrop a file because sync isn’t happening - yet - for no explained reason.

OneDrive is just too slow and clunky for me on MacOS

Dropbox just kept failing to start a sync from iPhone (likely entirely due to the OS not giving it a chance) but was otherwise very reliable and fast.

Google … I just use for a second copy of my photos and occasionally check if it’s syncing okay. It usually seems to be.


For photo backup I use my Amazon Prime subscription. The client isn't amazing (what is?) but it seems to do the trick.
