This was the final straw which prompted me to move off Dropbox. Initially, dropbox was wonderful, super simple and did ONE thing amazingly well. Then... the thing morphed into a monster with all sorts of "corporate america" features which I never cared for. Fine, they need to make money, I get it. Besides storing and syncing files, the dropbox app on iOS was amazing to take quick scans of receipts on the phone and sync them to the Mac and auto-process them there (via the receipts.app; great 3rd party app). Anyway, in 2023, iCloud Drive with the native Files.app on iOS does the same thing for me. Just as good, just as reliable. For free, without the bulky corporate app stuff.

But … icloud benefits from being part of the OS. Dropbox is probably technically unable to build a service that works as smoothly as icloud. It seems unfair to ding dropbox for that situation.

Having said that, I use icloud as well, together with syncthing.
