Syncing Problems: Reviewers mention that syncing multiple accounts is possible but not as intuitive as other cloud storage apps, and changes may take a considerable amount of time to process, especially after reboots or when dealing with a large number of files. These delays in syncing could impede productivity and lead to discrepancies between devices.
