One has to be deliberately obtuse to pretend to not see how ridiculous it is to make having a third-party application that shows little icons in the corner of the screen a hard requirement for a cloud file sync application.
I use Linux and don't have a taskbar, a topbar, a sysbar, nor anything similar. I've never seen the need for one when I can manage my windows in other ways and have more screen real estate available. What does that have to do with syncing my files?
- alias_neo 1y agoPerhaps people like you (and I) are not the target audience. I've always felt Dropbox was more of an "typical user" (as opposed to power user) file sync; I used it some years ago but never really liked it, I roll my own now. I wonder whether Dropbox looked at some stats and realised that many of their users are on beginner-friendly distros/desktops and that such a requirement would help (them) more than it would hurt (users).
