I struggled to understand the relevance of Dropbox as soon as the alternatives of Google Drive and OneDrive came on the market with vastly more storage capacity.

Is there a sizable market for people who require locally-stored content synchronised to the cloud (e.g. video editors?) Beyond that, the only people I encounter day-to-day who mention Dropbox are those not sufficiently tech-savvy to have known about the free alternatives mentioned above, and are still coasting on Dropbox's first mover awareness advantage.

I don't want to use Google and onedrive doesn't work seamlessly on Linux and Android.
What's your issue with OneDrive on Android? It has been working perfectly for me and for everyone around me for many years. Really fast sync, tight integration with the OS, and so on.
and on Ubuntu?
