>, it's that we'll never get rich quick as over logical people. Of course Dropbox is dumb when rsync exists. It's neither over-logical nor "smartest guy in the room" to equate Dropbox with rysnc. Instead, it's a category error. Consider that rsync syntax is basically : rsync <src> <dst> Before that command is run, that "<dst>" has to exist somewhere that's reachable by all client devices that want to see the same files. That means creating that "dst" target such as arranging a $5/month VPS at Hetzner, or a self-hosted NAS at home with Tailscale/CloudflareTunnels VPN, etc. Dropbox takes care of the "<dst>". rsync does not. That makes a profound difference in usability for non-techies. (One could use rsync only as a peer-to-peer sync between client computers with no "server" but that doesn't work well for a 1-to-many file sharing setup to facilitate a "Single Source Of Truth".)
