From the article:
> I subscribe to the Dropbox Tech Blog and now it clicked: You are compressing the files on the client with "Brotli", save bandwidth, storage space and money on your side, make it in theory faster to download (because no recompression has to take place), but this whole concept just crashes under its own overengineered weight! You named this "Broccoli: Syncing faster by syncing less" and state your "zero-crash policy" ... well i can make it crash 3 or 4 times a day.
1. Is what this person is saying about compression true? Not sure how they'd be compressing files "on the client" when it's sitting in my ext file system (perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here).
2. I've personally never had any issues of the sort, and I'd consider myself a relatively heavy Dropbox user. Has anyone else experienced this constant crashing?
