Same here.

iCloud comes very close, but it's horribly unreliable, and there is no way to keep it from delete certain files you might still be working with.

I had gigabytes to spare, and it deleted a pretty big file while I had it open in Photoshop, I couldn't figure out why Photoshop wouldn't save it, and it was because iCloud had deleted it while I was using it.

Now, it's been stuck at uploading 200 files/200 for about a week.

How did that even happen? Had you not saved the file recently? iCloud chooses what to delete based on size and last access. If you were working on the file and had saved it at least once, it would be impossible for it to delete it.
Opening the file at all should update the 'last accessed' time, no save required.
