Allow all applications to access Dropbox or Google Drive files
I am using mackup to sync application preferences between devices over Dropbox. Now if any application with synced preferences is started I will get a question if given application is allowed to access Dropbox files (because it tries to access its preferences). Examples below.

Clone user settings/preferences for Personal and Work accounts on same mac
Hello there! I use https://github.com/lra/mackup Not sure if its the BEST but it works well for me. * What does it do - Back ups your application settings in a safe directory (e.g. Dropbox) - Syncs your application settings among all your workstations - Restores your configuration on any fresh install in one command line

The best Mac Apps to unlock your max potential (recommended by users of r/MacOs )
Yeah, I went through a similar process when I finally upgraded my MBP after 8 years on a 2013 MBP. In light of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, I decided to do some spring cleaning with a fresh install. I ended up curating my own setup/bootstrap scripts as well as using mackup to backup and sync my dotfiles and app configs.

Sync settings
I use Mackup which syncs a many app settings including Raycast to your choice of location.

Dotfiles Management
I moved away from using a dotfiles repo a few years ago because I kept forgetting to add/commit files as I changed them.
Instead I use mackup[0] which automatically manages symlinks to your Dropbox/Drive/Share and has support for a huge amount of software by default. You can also manually add “extra” files you wish to track if you like.

Trying to learn Homebrew-macOS /usr/local layout --for purpose of--> migrating /usr/local from one Macbook to another
Brew bundle will install fresh copies of your package list. If you have any configuration files that you want to reuse, you’d have to transfer those separately. This might help https://github.com/lra/mackup

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
seconding rsync and syncthing.
the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.
rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.
this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?
rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.
