Why does't Apple discontinue iCloud already? Any good cloud sync services for Mac?

I have an Apple ecosystem because they all work so seamlessly together.

iCloud on the other hand is their most irritating service. Its downloads are freakishly slow.

Needed to download 90GB of data from iCloud Drive before canceling my subscription but their site kept showing:

"There was a problem loading the content of this folder iCloud"

Tried on Edge and Safari both.

Please give me some suggestions for cloud sync services for Mac. I want my desktop and download folders to stay in sync between all my Macs.

One Drive, DropBox, Mega, Google Drive

Although you wont have the sync between desktop and download (unless you manually set it up).

I did some research and found that these services don't work quite the same as they do on Windows PC. Apple doesn't allow syncing of desktop and downloads folders so people have to go for iCloud.

But I heard there are some services that found a way to bypass the restrictions. Can't find them by simple Google search.

I think you can have different folders synced up. If you can work with that, it's a good alternative. iCloud sucks for many reasons, mostly because once you delete a file, it's gone. There's no backup whereas with the other alternatives you get the backups. I'm the same with Apple ecosystem but I always disliked iCloud.

I will take a look into that. I'm sure I can make it work. Thanks
