Dropbox recently enshittified REAL bad (little fucking diamonds everywhere. The second I see those I nope out because I know its vibe coded shit). It was so fucking laggy. Froze my whole computer. I instantly disabled all their shit, returned it to classic, sent them a review saying their update sucks and no one wants their ai and now I will be cancelling my subscription becuase of it.

Theyre also an evil company anyway so nbd. Dont use them.

    You may be able to replace dropbox with either localsend and/or syncthing

    While I use those and they are great, we use dorpbox for video and have the 30tb plan which is needed. My friend has no local setup cuz he's afraid of losing it all as its his job. He does video editing on a Mac and likes Dropbox features (regardless that they are stealing all his video and using it to train bots to take his job in the future, but he doesnt care )

    I like localsend more than kde connect. I like to play around with different Roms on old android phones and would install kde connect every time I wanted to send screenshots and it would enable by default all permissions which I didn't want except for file sharing

    Oh and localsend is written in flutter which is going to (hopefully) become better because canonical is gonna help improve the Linux side of things
