Any recommended cloud storage systems in place of Creative Cloud Sync?

I've been using adobe tools for the past 2 years - all the while using the creative cloud sync system and thinking "Neat, this is pretty handy". Now that it is being discontinued, I'm interested in moving my files into a different sotrage system. Here is what I'm looking for and some details of my workflow:

1. Easy to share with others - my company uses Google Drive as their main hub. (I'm the only one who accesses these files internally however, so I'm interested in finding a system that works well for me but is also easy to share files externally).

2. Automatic updating - not even sure if this is possible. I'm a Mac user and was thinking about iCloud. Each time I save, would it be automatically updated on all my devices? This is my planned work around so far.

3. Storage mindful - I don't want to clog up all the storage on my actual computer.

I've heard people say dropbox is a good option, but I don't have a subscription. Any recommendations on each and how have they worked for you? Interested in hearing some other's workflows.

Thanks!

We have multiple external drives for data storage. For cloud backup & file recovery service, we have been using Backblaze for many years. It's affordably priced at $7/month for unlimited storage and has rescued us from data loss on multiple occasions. Backblaze auto syncs all or selected drives to the cloud each night. A++

Occasionally, I use Google Drive for file sharing.

Does your company use the Drive For Desktop option through Google?

I am working on moving my files to that, and it sounds like something similar to the Creative Cloud Files that are being removed. i.e. a local folder accessible through documents which can sync across multiple devices.
