Suggestions for consumer cloud syncing on Linux? (lemmy.world)

I'm brand new to Linux, running Mint on an old laptop to get a few more years out of it. I can install things via CLI, but I prefer GUI if available.

I'm looking for a cloud syncing option for some files I want to access across multiple devices. I don't need a lot of space. I'm not skilled enough to host things somewhere myself, I want just a consumer cloud solution.

I have a Box account, but there's not a native Box sync app for Linux. I've seen ExpanDrive claims to offer Box syncing, but I'm hesitant to pay or give it access to my account without knowing more about it. If it truly works and is secure, I don't mind paying.

Otherwise, what have been your best experiences with cloud hosting and syncing on Linux?

Thanks everyone! I've been having a lot of fun with my little Linux machine, I'm just bummed I didn't try this sooner.

I just installed Linux on a six-year-old budget laptop this morning. My first time using Linux. What was a uselessly slow machine is now just humming along.

I'm doing my part!

This is what infuriates me on every interstate freeway drive is that Eisenhower didn't just lay tracks along the median of every intestate. If we had done it then, we'd have an entire network for the most heavily utilized corridors with natural station locations.

It isn't even about being stuck in traffic, it's also about the mind-numbing expanse that would be much more enjoyable if I didn't have to pay attention.
