Dropbox has one key advantage. Block based syncing.

  Okay, but let's say Google implements that. Than Dropbox is toast, right? It's such a shame, because I absolutely believe that simpler products which focus on one thing and do it well are basically always a better user experience (and I personally try to use them wherever possible). But I think the business case is hard.

    If they did I'll switch to Google. It's the only reason I use Dropbox over others like OneDrive.

  Didn't Google add this in October 2024: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7577057?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/7577057?hl=en The changelog states: "Added support for “differential” uploads. When large files are edited, Drive for desktop will now upload only the parts of the file that changed."

    If they did I'm jumping ship. Was literally my only reason for staying on Dropbox

    TIL. For some reason I thought Drive for Desktop was discontinued years ago. Nice to see the regular updates.
