My Dropbox syncs from/to a “real” folder structure on my hard drive… Resilio Sync the same, and does the trick for me - but I’m sorely tempted to go back to subscription for Dropbox, I just wish they had a like a 1 TB plan that was half the price of the 2 TB plan! Because the way Dropbox works on mobile devices (Android and iOS) is heaps more usable (and reliable) than Resilio Sync… maxdepth 1 -type d -exec du -sk |sort -n’)… there’s probably a way to mount it - but I’m not ready to risk it - because I tried on one of my 20.04 (when it was still 18.04) machines and I’ve got a “bookmark” to it in Nautilus that’s still there, that I can’t use or remove, it’s not a biggie, but it’s an annoying glitch (note : it’s not listed in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs !). ![]() Note : I still occasionally use my Dropbox “free” account to share stuff with people… and I prefer my 11.5 GB dropbox to my 15 GB google drive - mainly because I HAVE NO F-CKING clue why my 15 GB google drive is using 10 GB - because I can’t mount it properly on any NIX machine to locate the hogs (e.g. ![]() What do I miss most about Dropbox?

I miss my dropbox - but when they limited my 11.5 free usage to three devices - I rapidly cut over… tried Mega for a while… but it just didn’t “cut it”… I did actually subscribe to Dropbox pro for a couple of years ($110 AUD for 1 TB)… but the thing that kinda irks me about Dropbox is I have to have that 1 TB space on every device (except mobile ones) anyway… ![]()
