The reason I am doing so is that after reading Nikita Prokopov’s post I decided to revisit the issues I had with getting Dropbox and OneDrive to work for me, since despite having used Dropbox since the very beginning I started using OneDrive for a lot of my personal stuff even before I joined Microsoft (obligatory Disclaimer).Īnd over the years, I have grown more and more disillusioned with Dropbox and its ever-increasing bloat, and yet couldn’t find the right fit even as I got more and more into using OneDrive. Notes on that are now online, but the short of it is that it works well enough for now.īut I hope it’s worth it to pick up again and expand upon, because this time maybe (just maybe) my notes on this topic can be useful. Update: Two months later, I canceled my Dropbox subscription and moved to a OneDrive/SyncThing combo, almost exactly as described here.

The main reason I ended up not cancelling my Dropbox subscription last year was awkward, and is simultaneously also the reason why this post has been an entire year in the making.
