Here is a fantastic tool to compare cloud storages offers from the myriad of providers around the world: https://comparisontabl.es/cloud-storage/
In addition to the very useful information in this online spreadsheet, I encourage you to test for yourself as each provider has unique functions, or lack of thereof, that will only reveal themself through testing. Note that I'm on Apple Mac Silicon, what applies to me doesn't necessarily apply to your situation, so test away! Most if not all providers offer free trials.
For example did you know that the iCloud Drive web app doesn't have a search function? I didn't either, and it's a big annoyance. It's also linked to your AppleID which is another huge gotcha.
How about the ability to free storage space on your device by storing files in the cloud only, but still listing the offline files on your devices, visually signaling the difference between offline and online? Some do it (iCloud, Internxt), some don't (Mega.) Some are supposed to do it, only it doesn't work (kDrive.)
Some allow for multiple workspaces (Drime), some don't. Some have selective sync (kDrive), some don't.
I have yet to discover which ones have block level sync (Dropbox does), and which do not.
| Provider | Web Search | Offline/online | Multi Workspace | Selective Sync | Block Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iCloud | No | Yes | No | No | ? |
| OneDrive | Yes | Yes | No | No | ? |
| Mega | Yes | No | No | No | ? |
| GoogleDrive | Yes | Yes | No | No | ? |
| Internxt | Yes | Yes | No | No | ? |
| kDrive | Yes | Bad | Yes | Yes | ? |
| DropBox | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Drime | Yes | No | Yes | No | No |
Drime on macOS syncs and display every .DS_Store file (normally invisible), which is a real pain.
Again, Apple M1 user here, macOS Tahoe 26.3.
As I discover more uniqueness, I'll report and add to this post.
