Hi AZeed, and welcome to Power Users and Codidact! I'm afraid this question isn't really answerable as it stands, because "why" is inherently guesswork and opinion (unless someone in a position of having access to likely-privileged information sees this and decides to answer, any attempt at answering "why" will have to involve guessing; possibly educated guesses, but still guesses), and it's also rather broad (there are a few major "cloud storage providers", and many additional smaller ones). If you can make this a question about, for example, what technical or maybe contractual limitations might prevent folder synchronization on Android, that might make it more answerable. You can edit the question and then flag for moderator attention to request that it is reopened. Before you do, you might want to review https://powerusers.codidact.com/help/faq and https://powerusers.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask.
