What’s a good Dropbox alternative? Especially for Macs. Feels like they spent twenty years just making the Mac client worse.

I heard you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem

Use maestral.app on Linux and macOS.

Also bypasses the free Dropbox account's limitations on 3 devices.

iCloud Drive is the obvious choice.

Self-hosted Seafile + Tailscale works great for me.

If you only have ios and mac clients why not icloud?
