In 2009 I was running IT for a medium-sized digital agency. I contacted both Box and Dropbox to inquire about paying them a bunch of money if they could give us some more features such oauth/saml auth, and better logging/auditing of our user activity.

Box sales was super responsive, and even got me on the phone to chat with their engineering team about our needs.

Dropbox was completely unresponsive.

Did you ever try anything like https://owncloud.org/ ? I came across it last night browsing random docker containers.
I wouldn't recommend it to replace Dropbox. There are superior open source tools that are specialized for file sync.
Can you recommend any? And something I want to investigate soon.
This didn't exist in 2009.
