      Sorry I didn’t actually read it.

      Yes Finder is the macOS analogue of the iOS Files app. As far as I can see Dropbox and Files are pretty similar too. iOS Dropbox lacks tags, though.

      Sounds like Which‘s beef is with photo syncing. They think that the Photos app should be able to sync with clouds other than iCloud…?

        Issue is that 3rd party apps doesn’t have the same system access as iCloud. So you can’t use any other cloud the same way you can iCloud. So by definition that’s anticompetitive, since you have no options.
