David Sparks:

iCloud Drive and sharing have not failed me. On the contrary, they have worked better than I expected.

The trouble is those instances where I am not in control. For example, I have many clients who have never heard of iCloud Drive and do not own Macs.

I did not install the Dropbox app on my laptop but instead use their web interface when I need to access my Dropbox storage. It cuts me out of a lot of automation, and it is generally slower, but I can avoid its intrusive install this way.

Bradley Chambers:

My biggest complaint about iCloud Drive is that the deleted file restoration pales in comparison to Dropbox.
