I have a fair amount of stuff on Google drive and I would have liked to consolidate there, but the lack of a Linux client was a deal breaker, so I'm stuck with Dropbox. Not that Dropbox is bad. It would be nice to have things in one place only, but maybe it's better to not be completely dependent on one service.

Funnily, on my encrypted disk in Debian, Dropbox needs constant monitoring to make sure it's working (need to execute a couple of simple python scripts now and then), while Drive works perfectly through InSync.

Dropbox now only (officially) supports un-encrypted bare ext4 filesystems. If you plan on using XFS, BTRFS, or even encrypted ext4, you're SOL with Dropbox. https://itsfoss.com/dropbox-linux-ext4-only/ https://itsfoss.com/dropbox-linux-ext4-only/ NextCloud and a $5/mo VPS work great for me.
