    Good software but just too pricey.

    Same functionality as pCloud, plus a few less important features. Dropbox has the best Linux app of any personal cloud storage I've seen, although pCloud comes very close. Only drawbacks are more expensive/less free space, and free users are limited to 3 devices.
