I also dislike the notion of having to go to the cloud, simply to get files from one room to the other. We have fiber, but it's the slowest/cheapest plan.
My primary interest in the cloud is for backup, rather than sharing. Aside from direct family, I'm not much of a data-sharing person.
I thought this way as well, but my engineer moved to Austria so I needed it. It uploads files to the cloud as they are modified and then automatically downloaded to my engineer's 'puter. I don't even notice it happening. Now I've got employees in Brazil & China as well...
What I really like about it (besides that it just works), is that any dir can be "made a cubby". Most of the others I tried needed the sync'd dir to be on the desktop.
Send them an email about the lack of linux support... I'll do it as well.
