On a more serious note, I can totally see the value this adds. Everything is so fragmented these days. Nice. Franz did something similar for chat, but never really took off, I'm afraid. Hopefully, those guys will fare better.

For anyone who's known and used well-integrated multi-protocol IMs like Pidgin or Trillian (or heck, any of the browser-based ones from the past), it's incredibly sad how far we've fallen.
Google Chat is gone, AIM is gone, Facebook Chat is gone. No one uses ICQ anymore, and even if they did, they are probably on my facebook or hangouts anyway. Its disappointing how every chat service went to a closed protocol model.
Maybe we need a cloud-cloud. One place to put all our files. The unifying interface would take care of uploading/downloading files to/from the individual clouds.
Would be nice if all clouds supported a common communication protocol. I for one would like to mount cloud storages as network drives in macOS without third-party apps (aka badly working hacks). One can dream…
Was planning to check Franz out; now I won't bother.
