I've been a loyal Dropbox user since its inception as a [Y Combinator startup](https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/dropbox/) ten years ago. Having a folder on all of my devices that instantly synchronized with each other was a game-changer for me, and I grew dependent on it more and more as they gave out free storage like candy — 48 GB for having a Samsung Chromebook, 1 GB for "Posting \<3 to Twitter," and so on — until I needed to upgrade to Dropbox Pro. But this month I canceled my Pro subscription after a few too many strikes.

I've never been a proponent of leaving all your eggs in one basket. But it's hard to ignore the convenience of Apple's streamlined (and [finally](https://www.imore.com/developers-encounter-major-icloud-issues-ios-13-beta) reliable) [**iCloud Drive**](https://www.apple.com/icloud/), which is already installed on all of my devices (and actually cheaper than Dropbox gigabyte-for-gigabyte, at \$9.99/month for 2 TB). In fact, it's nearly invisible on macOS: I can simply save files in my Documents or Desktop folders as I always have and they're uploaded in the background. Git repositories now sync just fine and my files reappeared without a hitch after I recently formatted my Mac.
