But this linux app, which features has ?

I mean, it keeps local copies of files or just in the cloud 
(like pCloud) ?
If you connect more devices (if possible), does it do 
automatic syncing among them (Dropbox does, and has a really 
amazing features : when both local copies are newer than the 
last committed version, it automatically creates degenerated 
versions called "copy in conflict", sort of bidirectional 
updating).

I hate clouds that do not keep a true, complete, local copy 
for fast use. pCloud keeps only a cache, and since the 
connection is slow, is almost unusable locally
