Oh they increased to 2TB? (Seems it was around 2019... wow I am not up to date! https://venturebeat.com/business/dropbox-increases-plus-plan... )

Back when I decided which cloud storage to use, all the big ones were at 1TB and dorpbox was the most expensive with the least features, while microsofts offer included office 365 for nearly half the price.

Right now it seems: MS 6$/mo for 1TB + Office (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/onedrive/compa...) Dropbox 10$/mo for 2TB (https://www.dropbox.com/plans) Google 12$/mo for 2TB+some smaller things like calls (https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html?utm_source=drivefo...)

There obviously are smaller companies offering storage too, which seems to be around 4~5$/(mo and TB), eg https://www.pcloud.com/cloud-storage-pricing-plans.html?peri... https://icedrive.net/plans https://www.sync.com/pricing-individual/

Overall I'd say its not a terrible offer after the increase to 2TB, but on the expensive side compared to competitors.

The main advantage for Dropbox is that file sync works flawlessly. I've had issues with Onedrive and Google Drive in the past. Maybe they fixed those, but I can't trust them anymore.
Agree. I am forced to use OneDrive when I do consultation work for one of my customers, still works like crap compared to Dropbox with slow syncing etc.
I know right. I tried to move to OneDrive and within a few hours had multiple “conflicted versions” or whatever.
That's been my experience with syncthing sadly
In my experience syncing with pCloud is at least as good as with Dropbox. Google Drive is still quite bad.
