Funny, I've done the opposite in recent months.
Dropbox's killer feature is 'Online-only' storage IMHO, it allows me to store and access 300GB+ of music and other projects on my laptop without carrying an external HDD with me all the time. Every file is saved as a zero-byte file, which makes the files discoverable even though it's not stored on my disk. When I try to open the file it downloads it automatically, which works surprisingly well. And it's way faster than mounting DigitalOcean Spaces using s3fs for example.
Also Dropbox is cheaper: 12eu for 2TB, compared to DigitalOcean Spaces: 5eu for 250GB. And I can even access my files through the Dropbox API.
- kwanbix 6y agoLove how well Dropbox works. Sadly, for me, it is too expensive. It is 240 euros per year for a family of 6. For comparison, the same plan in Google One costs 120 euros per year. Same for Office 365. If they did 120 euros per year for the family pack I will migrate to them because I like Dropbox better at syncing.
- kwanbix 6y ago(And Office365 actually gives you 1TB per user (so 6TB) and 60 mins of skype per user (so 360 mins), plus online, mobile, and desktop versions of office). But somehow I have the feeling that Dropbox > Google Drive > OneDrive at syncing. Anybody can confirm?
