I use all of them (Google, OneDrive, Dropbox) due to various needs, but Dropbox is my primary account too.

I've found that inSync is a wonderful client for GoogleDrive and OneDrive for all major platforms. It has some nice features like out of tree syncing (sync a cloud folder to anywhere on the filesystem and keep it synced), and .gitignore like ignore syntax.

I'd recommend it heavily. It's a one-time-payment application with no limitations.

They've added dropbox support recently.

I was an early user of insync (Linux and google seive) and had issues with it when they added one drive support. I tried it out when I was getting all of my stuff off of google a while back. I pay for office and one drive so if I could consolidate it would be nice.
I'm not that old, but I had no problems whatsoever with InSync on either OneDrive or Google Drive (on Linux). Recently they have changed their licensing model to pay once for unlimited accounts and their development is accelerated.

If you feel inclined, give it a try again.

Is it on top of their respective clients or instead of?
Instead. InSync is a standalone application.
