Hi,
As you know we have multi cloud services and how are you having them? Collected in one application or do you install the client for each one of them?

Not sure I would want my cloud services taking to each other, levels of separation and passwords and all that. iClouds runs in the background, Spideroak runs in the background on its own. I just set the parameters and check in on occasion.

^^^This.

iCloud and Dropbox are the only two "active" cloud services I have. The rest (Google, Amazon, OneDrive, Box) are archives for me and get updated manually on a schedule, depending on data type.

And iCloud, I'm not putting everything there, a manual mode where I put files of interest into folders I've put under there.

iCloud is the only one that I have enabled for syncing with my documents. For Dropbox, Google, OneDrive etc., I use CloudMounter. It's a nice app that mounts all these cloud services as external drives on your desktop. This way I could get rid of all the, often problematic, clients. The free version should do what you need (I upgraded to paid to mount SFTP directories from my Linux servers).
