I keep having problems with Dropbox lately, with files that aren't synced and lots of conflicted copies. Not sure why but made me realize that Dropbox has been offering pretty much the same service for years now. Granted, the service was great from the beginning but: are they improving enough to remain competitive?


Completely agreed. Right now the most requested feature is "watch any folder". It received the most upvotes by a great margin (30%). And it was suggested 2 years ago.

Yet there is no indication of development at all on that front (or any other for that matter.)

I really like Dropbox, but seriously will look into GDrive too.


I also agree. Last i checked, their headless option was still an unofficial link in their forum, their prices have not come down, and there seem to have been several security problems. I've been a customer for over three years at this point, and while i'm not unhappy, i am open to competing value propositions.


"Watch any folder" would greatly clutter the beautiful ui and conceptual model.


It's a small price to pay when making all the users happy.
