One of the key features of Everpix was the "set and forget" capability. Also their dupe-detection was really good.

Do any of those do that? I guess Dropbox is the most established... I'd hate to be in this same situation in a year from now with Loom...

The problem with Dropbox is that photos are eating space on my local hard drive, unless I manually manage them. Everpix was perfect from the syncing perspective. Sharing could have been improved and I think they should have put more effort to private sharing experience and that would have helped with growth too.
You can selectively unsync particular folders in your Dropbox Advanced Preferences; that's what I do with my Camera Uploads folder.
That still presents the problem of frequent uploads: you have to sync a folder on your hard drive, and then follow up with unsync when it gets too large, and then set up a new folder for the next batch.
Every time a startup I like fails I find myself less and less likely to use another one.

Everpix was really really easy and I would have been happy to pay double what I was for it, its a real shame to see it shut down.

I think Loom does.
