I don't think I'd recommend rsync as a replacement for Dropbox, as rsync isn't as elegant and doesn't replicate the functionality of Dropbox. (I use and like both tools.) You might consider also recommending Unison as a Dropbox alternative rather than rsync. Unison is probably better at multiway synchronization.

Interesting. I thought Unison wasn't actively supported any more? It does look like the better choice - although lacking in Android / iOS implementations from what I see.

  I think it's supported, as there were updates for it last year, but just not actively developed. The developers are working on another project called Boomerang that's supposed to replace it(maybe?), but which hasn't seen an update in years last I checked.
