Dropbox for individual folders?

Do you want a service similar to Dropbox, but that you can feed it several separate folders that it will synchronize (online)? So that on another computer you can also check out individual folders from the server and continue to synchronize them. It needs to work on Mac OS, Linux and Win.
Cons of the solutions I know:
Dropbox Selective Sync beta
- synced folders should still be inside the
SVN Dropbox folder
- you need to look for a reliable service somewhere
- manual commit (does not follow file system changes like Dropbox)
- there are doubts that SVN' you will like a huge number of large binary files
S3 + s3fs + rsync
- manual synchronization
- yes, in general, all by myself, all by myself :(
Does anyone know about this?
Thank you.

what about Mega ?
Convenient client, synchronization of selected folders, 50 GB for free, there are clients for desktops and mobile OS. Under Linux, there is no official one yet, but they promise. It seems to be unofficial.

In Linux, this issue is very easily and quickly solved using symlinks.

STAR, so the original folders should be stored in the Dropbox folder, and the symlinks should be placed in the right places, then there should not be such a problem. I (although in Linux) do just that, no problem.

In Windows (7) I use symlinks, everything works fine for Dropbox, but analogue programs are not very good at synchronizing via symbolic links (hello, Yandex and Google drive).

What directories you specify, these will be tracked.
The storage limit on a free account is 5GB. There is a client for macOS and Linux.
