> All I care about is packrat and good syncing.

That’s also what I care about, but the atrocious client (and the m1 thing) and the constant nagging in the web interface was too much. I cancelled and now use a mixture of icloud, airdrop, and rsync/sftp with remote servers.

Have you tried syncthing? A few years ago I replaced Dropbox with that on all my computers and it's been great. It works a lot like old school Dropbox, except without the cloud-hosted storage parts. It does p2p sync of directories between computers.
I have, but for my workflow, I found that I don’t need realtime sync that much. I either work locally or the source of truth is online. What I really needed was backup (restic and various online storage) and file transfer (rsync and unison works great).
