Here is a [checklist for evaluating synchronisation services](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/does-anyone-have-experience-of-using-scrivener-with-icedrive/132354/2). If it passes those tests, you should be all right.

That said, if you search around on the forum, you should find this one has already been discussed. Here is one [recent thread](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/sync-com-have-released-a-major-update/134436).

I would also briefly add that if a sync service needs to recognise packages (or has disclaimers about how it doesn’t “support them”), it’s suspect, and probably over-complicating things (but sometimes, perhaps oftentimes, it’s case of a FAQ writer with an inadequate understanding of the tech). There is no such thing as a package, from the perspective of such technology. It is nothing but a folder with files in it, and if the sync service can’t sync _that_ safely—move on to the next one, because that’s a huge problem.
