I used Dropbox for a while, but their Linux client was a mess that randomly spiraled into 100% CPU usage for long periods of time.

Google Drive with Insync was better, but had absolutely no bandwidth limiting, so it ate all of my meager upload speed a lot of the time.

There are also the obvious issues of hosting your files with American companies, if you're not fond of various three letter agencies looking through your stuff. I do t have anything even remotely incriminating, but I am opposed to widespread secret surveillance on principle.

So I use pCloud, which is hosted in Switzerland. Their Linux client is great, their pricing is decent, they have reasonable media streaming built in (supports FLAC, too) and their sharing links are easy to use and don't require people to register accounts. They also have good undelete features (30 days standard, up to a year for an additional fee).
