Dropbox is better value and faster, in my experience, than these others. And when it backs up photos, it doesn’t hold them hostage on its servers so you have to keep paying or you lose access to them, unlike Google at least. I still think it’s the best of the bunch. It will be a shame to see it go to shit.
Comment on Dropbox is laying off 20% of its staff

Well I don’t know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

Lan sync is their only killer feature.

iCloud doesn’t have Linux, Android, or Windows clients. It’s basically a non-starter for file sharing between users not on an Apple platform.
I don’t like the way Google Drive integrates into the OS file browsing on MacOS, and it doesn’t support Linux officially. Plus it does weird stuff with the Google Photos files, which count against your space but aren’t visible in the file system.
OneDrive doesn’t support Linux either.
I just wish Dropbox had a competitive pricing tier somewhere below their 2TB for $12/month. I’d 100% be using them at $5/month for like 250 GB.

Technically, it does have a windows client. It’s just in various states of being broken.

The web interface also works just fine

Does it do offline sync?

They used to! I actually got the 1TB plan the same year they phased it out. Good timing on my part there. Waste of £70 or whatever it was.
