FileZilla is only an FTP client, Cyberduck can access cloud storage like S3 too.

Dolphin supports FTP, SFTP, SMB and WebDAV as well and gives you all the usability comfort of a normal file manager (tabs, split view, opening documents etc.). Although it doesn't support Amazon S3 and needs a plugin for Dropbox, it's covers more of Cyberduck's use cases than the other alternatives.

Insync syncs GD folders to your disk, while CYberduck mounts them "on the fly"
Review by a new / low-activity user.
This alternative is disputed. Insync is a legitimate Cyberduck alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
