iCloud Drive works pretty well for me.

> After all, the fs routines in python are all written in c, file watching uses the os api such as inotify, so python speed has little impact on those operations. Same for the gui. Same for the network since you only have a few connections to one server.

You'll notice that these aren't the things I mentioned as things you shouldn't be doing in Python, aside from the GUI, which I will maintain should not be done in Python. Writing parts of Dropbox in Python is fine, but there are places where they really shouldn't.
