fileproviderd is a daemon that facilitates streaming file services. Apple is forcing Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive to use it rather than the reliable systems they had used before Monterrey.
I don't have those problems with iCloud.

Not sure I understand. If Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive are "forced" to use it, wouldn't they stop working if it was disabled or removed?

What, exactly, is fileprovider?
Sounds to me like the developers are just dragging their feet in fulfilling their responsibility to make their apps work with macOS.
