Yep, I've tried them all and Dropbox is the only one that I can say works.
- iCloud - simply does not work, trusting your files in here is a fools errand.
- Google Drive - They've change the name 6 times since I've started this comment, and each name changes requires a new download, and each download removes a feature I use. Need third party app for Linux.
- OneDrive - Not so bad, but need third party app for Linux.
I've tried many others like SyncThing (just terrible, people who tolerate this I give them my pity because it is not good software).
I wish Dropbox would just split of products into Dropbox Classic (A folder, that syncs!) and then this new fangled rubbish they keep building to diversify.

Maybe my use cases are too simple, but why did you find SyncThing a bad software? In my experience, understanding the setup was the difficult part, but that's to be expected when you're used to cloud providers managing that on their end. Apart from that, it doesn't work on iPhone or iPad, the syncs can take a couple of minutes, and that's all the cons I can think of.
The big pro for me is being able to sync files that an overzealous cloud provider might autosanitize without asking.
Regarding Google Drive on Linux, I've tried InSync and it worked so well with a combination of Dropbox+Google Drive+Google Workspaces that I bought the lifetime license. From time to time they do 50% offs, so it's even more attractive. Much better experience than the official Dropbox client.
The SyncThing FAQ states that due to iOS design decisions, a fully functional client is not possible. Last time I checked it, that answer didn't mention Mobius Sync, even if limited it's great to have an iOS client!
