Overall Satisfaction with Dropbox

I have been using Dropbox for the last 5+ years, mainly as storage folder for project documentation as well as archive after project completion.
Additionally, Dropbox contains a comprehensive knowledge base in terms of downloaded articles and papers, links to books and other generally available documentation, etc.

Pros

  • keyword search on a complex directory tree of PDF
  • synchronization with local folders using rclone tool
  • Multiple access from desktop, mobile, etc.

Cons

  • Native client for Linux
  • Model Context Protocol server to access Dropbox shares using a Large Language Model
  • Better pricing model
  • 50% efficiency vs. other equivalent tools such as Microsoft OneDrive
Simple User Interface, accessible from a browser either on PC or on mobile devices
Simpler and more intuitive user interface
Much faster synchronization - especially wrt OneDrive
