I left Dropbox when they stopped supporting Linux client. I didn't want to go to either Google or Microsoft, so I went with Mega.nz and I am very happy with them. I pay around $30/year for 400 GB storage. (most likely a grandfathered plan, not sure of current pricing).

For what it’s worth (not trying to convince you to switch back, just want to provide my perspective), I still use Dropbox on Linux (Pop!_OS 20.04) via their official installer and it works completely fine: https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux

  It should also perhaps be noted that you can't sync to a Dropbox folder on an NTFS drive in Linux with the official client. You can however do this with Maestral.

    That's weird, because until a couple years ago I kept syncing the same folder in a NTFS partition in a dual-boot (Linux + Windows) configuration.

> I left Dropbox when they stopped supporting Linux client. Wait a second. Did they? My Dropbox client is currently working on my Arch system.

  At some point they build in a filesystem check and stopped running on anything but ext4 (or btrfs?). IIRC they were constantly giving some notification as well. It didn't really make sense either and I know several people moved away from Dropbox because they were using xfs. I'm using pCloud with their lifetime 1TB plan.

    They relaxed that constraint within a year of that announcement, it supports most filesystems that support xattrs now.
