I loved, loved Google Desktop when it had launched, but alas it was deprecated. I have even paid for Neeva, a hot flash in the pan to see if it could provide personal search.

Dropbox has gotten progressively worse to no fault of its own. Instead of allowing Dropbox to run on a kernel like the good old days, Apple forces all sync providers (iCloud, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox) to use its macOS File Provider API going forward, which is terrible.

Apple Spotlight now doesn't index my Dropbox files, and I have to revert to using Dropbox.com to search for my files.

I'm a big believer in Personal LLMs, so the more data I have on myself the better.

Glean is the closest Enterprise focused solution of what I am looking for, and a few reddit subredits mention Personal LLMs, but I think we are still at the frontier.
