I wonder what's stopping dropbox from revoking their API tokens. Isn't this competing directly with the "official" clients?

  Why would it matter to them? They are already more expensive than other providers. Rclone connects to multiple cloud hosting solutions already too. If they revoked API access I'm pretty sure the backlash would be the final straw.

  He only supports platforms that Dropbox does not officially support. They won’t revoke tokens, they’ll do something far worse—they’ll hire him!

  What does Dropbox gain here?

    Companies bundle everything into their flagship product to force everyone to use it. Direct API access means Dropbox can’t advertise either. Ask Twitter what they think about that.

  What API token are you referring to? Given it is open source, how are they keeping the token secure?
