Syncing computers. Simple solution

I looked into Onedrive for Linux and concluded that there was no simple, reliable and free solution (there is a commercial option: insync).

Given that onedrive is proprietary this means that the open source offerings have to reverse engineer how it works, which explains the many, many reports of buggy solutions. To be honest, I'd not be trusting my file backups to tools like that.

Buyer-beware, and all that, but if I had to share files across Linux and other systems then I'd probably use a commercial solution or I'd use Google Drive.

Fortunately I have no need to use Linux - although clearly even a de-Googled Android is *nix based, as is R/Pi which my home DNS runs on... which despite the criticism of windows updates never gives you a message like '
Partition size 255M may not be sufficient for new Pi4 files
This could result in a system that will not boot.
256M FAT partition is recommended. Ensure you have a backup if continuing.
Would you like to proceed? (y/N)"

Have we got to the year of Linux yet?
