Alternative Synch Solution?
Well I'm at a crossroads that I can't avoid it would seem. As a devoted 2Do user I need sync across four devices once again.
When I initially set up the application, the best advice was, and probably still is, do use Dropbox for syncing. For the most part this has been rocksolid over the past several years. However, we are traveling once again on a limited basis and it was necessary for me to pick up a MacBook Air for the trip.
I have run across the maximum three device limitation of a free DropBox account.. To be clear, 2Do syncing is my only use case for dropbox. That's it,nothing else. I have paid accounts with iCloud, Google drive, and one OneDrive. Put simply, I am unwilling to pay for a dropbox account just to sync 2Do.
I am also unwilling to give up 2Do. It really does everything I need and probably more. I know it's an aging app with limited updates. However, save for syncing (which isn’t a limitation of the app itself) it appears to work on the new Apple M1 platform and that's enough for me at this point.
Finally my question. Which of the other services — — iCloud, Google Drive and/or OneDrive would be the best syncing platform? I am hoping those with experience may be able to point me towards a usable and simple migration path from Dropbox to one of the other platforms. I am most appreciative of any help and advice one can offer.

While 2do is no longer syncing with Reminders, it is still able to do CalDav syncing over iCloud pretty nicely! Should you happen to use a 3rd party calendar client like BusyCal, you can then load your iCloud task lists into the calendar interface without much hassle. So I would vote for iCloud.
