I recently switched from Dropbox because of the added device limitations for the free tier and because I don't really want to pay 10 euro a month for 2 TB of space when I only need 10 GB. Got myself a Nextcloud instance for third of the cost and I have to say that the syncing absolutely sucks. It's so bad that I'm going to migrate away from it as well.

Not going back to Dropbox yet though. I'd rather try out Google Drive since I consider it to be much better consumer plans.

I stopped paying for Dropbox precisely because there was no sensibly-sized plan (150GB working set, was paying for 2TB and an extremely bloated desktop client). Decided to move everything to a combination of OneDrive (which I had been resisting for years) and SyncThing (which is OK but crufty):

I had the same issue, especially w/ syncing a large amount of small files, and switched from nextcloud to seafile which works way better on the same hardware.
