The performance of the Mac client is terrible. Simply clicking the menu bar icon sometimes takes several seconds to bring up a terrible looking menu that smells like Electron.

I wouldn't necessarily call it terrible, as all the big 3 cloud storage services just wrap Web UIs in a window instead of doing a fully native app. The file syncing functionality works just fine for me every time, compared to iCloud, which regularly will stop syncing silently, despite it being better integrated into the Finder.

I'd rather have reliable syncing with an Electron wrapper than a fully native UI with broken sync.
