If you're willing to pay for it, Insync works well on Linux and syncs Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive to your machine, with selective sync and multiple accounts.

I can access both fine on Windows. Accessing OneDrive from my iMac works OK. I've had the iMac unable to find files on OneDrive and I couldn't figure out why. I haven't experimented with Google Drive on Mint, but that's supposed to run OK. There doesn't seem to be a sophisticated integration of Linux Mint and OneDrive.

Linux always seems to be the laggard, so the strategy might be to find services which work well with Linux *then* see how that pool of solutions work with whatever Apple is calling OSX now and with Windows.
