    I’ll speak for Dropbox. Dropbox has a setting for it in the photos app. (I have it off right now)

    And for file, as long as you save your files to your drop box directory, they will be mirrored in the cloud.

      What you’re talking about is more of a happenstance of other things converging on the ability to do this. Apple doesn’t support it, nor do they care if they break it in the future. Think of it like a workaround that just hasn’t been broken by an update (yet).

        This is factually incorrect. They have actively supported this stuff, and most notably, recently released a framework so non-Apple remote storage can reliably integrate into iOS / MacOS without needing to maintain a kernel extension.

        Go look at the developer documentation and the WWDC sessions around file management if you don’t believe me.
