Have used Syncovery for several years. Perfect Reliability.
The best i found for syncing with Dropbox and Google Drive both accurately and fast - only con that it's a little pricey but nevertheless it serves the purpose great!
I would really like to know with which operating systems the other users here have made their good experiences? Over the past years, I have given syncovery many times a new chance (mac OS 10.6 - 10.12), but in terms of UI/UX and stability, it is one of the most horrific applications, I can remember.
It failed in the easiest tasks, frozed and crashed regulary or – the best scenario – copied parts of the job.
I have been using syncovery (from its super flexible file synchronizer avatar days ) and this is one of the best and consistently working syncing/backup programs out there. Worked flawlessly.
I have used it on Vista, Windows 7 and macOS versions from leopard to Mojave. Haven't tried it on Windows 10 yet though.
Try the expert mode and run it as root user on macOS

I've been using Syncovery for 2+ years to make my own SuperDropbox using a tonidoplug. I call it SuperDropbox, because it grabs folders from all over, and uploads in real-time.
There are a ton of backup and sync packages out there. Syncovery is not the simplest, but that's because it allows you to set EVERY feature. Without any tweaks it is easy enough to 1)backup, 2)mirror, 3)two-way sync, 4)move. But with a little more effort, there can be so many different nuances to the way you can sync, and Syncovery seems to have thought of them all. And out of the box it will connect to Amazon S3, Google Drive, Skydrive, etc.
After having tried a whole lot of both free and commercial tools for backup I had finally realized which requirements I really had on a backup tool, and this one was the only one I found which satisfied all of them, e.g. VSS, support for move and rename, and partial file changes to name a few.
As the same suggests it is very customizable, with many settings, enabling you to get it to work exactly the way you want it to.
If you are sick and tired of the shortcomings of your current backup tool, I warmly recommend trying the evaluation version of this one!
