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?

Pop OS had me log into Google and I believe my Google Drive space was automatically mounted. Too easy :)

It is too easy, but It probably got mounted as network drive so you dont have files stored on pc (bonus if you are low on storage). At least that was case with my nextcloud, so I removed that account and installed app from store. Both ways are super easy, iphone dificulty

Network drive is perfectly fine if you are ok with that (no internet = no files and it will open files bit longer), but OP was asking for synced files on local drive. I selfhost cloud and I prefer sync so I can have one more copy stored on desktop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
