I haven't heard of them before, but those prices are almost _suspiciously_ good. Have you found them to be reliable?

Edit: they're using the older unity logo for their "disk" column. That doesn't inspire confidence in their legitimacy.

I'm using mine primarily as a redundant backup host. So, for that usage, they're perfectly reliable and functional.

However, the machine is absolutely slow. It usually takes a few seconds before SSH brings me to a shell prompt. Web apps I have running on it (basically just Gitea and Vikunja at the moment) can take upwards of 10 seconds to render pages, and it's just me using it. If you just want a storage host, they're fine. Running your website off it? I would probably not recommend.

Reliability, I have not had any issues so far, but I'm hardly a power user. My own personal anecdote is that my backups get validated monthly and, so far, have not had any issues.

I would probably agree that these machines alone would not suffice to make a good Dropbox alternative if what you're storing there isn't backed up elsewhere. I would recommend supplementing with off-site backups to B2 at the very least.
