Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
The main cloud services don't even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it's a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.
Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

I have a self-hosted Nextcloud and my Nextcloud account connected via GNOME as an Online Account. It integrates seamlessly with Calendar, gives me a webdav mount for my files etc. I don't have any issues. I have not added any Google accounts, and definitely no Microsoft accounts. I don't use public clouds for private stuff.

The self-hosted bit is the problem. I have yet to find a Nextcloud provider that offers the service truly ready to go. The ones I found try to make it somewhat easy by offering Install buttons in web interfaces but if you have absolutely no clue about such things, even that is a hurdle to overcome.
Here is the official list of nextcloud providers that do the setup and maintenance for you: https://github.com/nextcloud/providers#providers
Considering that the list includes providers I've had first hand experience with and those are not ready to use: No.
@Luckyfriend222 @desconectado when I first switched to gnome I loved this and probably one of the main reasons I'll be sticking with gnome now.
calender, tasks, contacts all just integrated perfectly felt like I was in some sort of apple Eco system product for a second the way it all just synced together
