Mike, I don't know how much those in the USA are aware of what is going on outside the USA. As your current president-come-king-and-dictator is creating chaos and starting wars, killing people (even Americans), insulting allies and more, there is a move to not line his pockets and make life more predictable by moving away from using US businesses. Canada, the EU and Asia are front-runners in this.
In respect to cloud providers, Box, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are US providers, so non-US folk are looking at moving to providers such as Nextcloud (German) and pCloud (Swiss). This will be part of the reason why you are and will be getting requests for letting MobileSheets connect to these sources.
As MobileSheets users, we need to appreciate that these servies need to provide a suitable API for you to work with, which I believe is why Proton (Swiss) is not currently possible.

So the cloud synchronization is all manually triggered at the moment. So if another user synchronizes their library with a cloud folder and pushes up changes, you can synchronize with that same folder and pull down changes to your device. This will transfer over all of the song data, including link points, smart buttons, bookmarks, annotations, all of the song metadata, etc. If you just imported files, you wouldn't get any of that, but if that is not relevant or important for you, then you can just import files instead of relying on the library synchronization.
