I’ve been pondering migrating away from Dropbox. I guess I won’t migrate to Google Drive then.



Where are you migrating to?

Dropbox's new client is absolutely terrible - an in-your-face resource hog trying to upsell constantly. But from a reliability perspective, Dropbox is absolutely great as long as you don't let it trick you into enabling their automatic offloading "feature" (hello corrupt all-NUL files!).

But of the main choices, the quality/reliability ordering really is: dropbox, icloud drive, one drive, anything else and then google drive. So I'd like a good alternative to DB that is at least as good as icloud drive (which is not a high bar).


Following. I would very much like to find a cloud storage solution other than Google That could add a bit more functionality, security, and customization.



I've been using Nextcloud, I'm pretty happy with it. I got a managed instance at Hetzner, it's decently priced.


I’m not sure. I really liked Dropbox the way it was up until ~2018 or so. It did its job very well until they decided to bloat it... I think I’ll go with either iCloud (I mostly use macOS and iOS) or OneDrive.


Oh no... shades of RealPlayer.


Not affiliated in any way, but we've had good luck with Box.


I'm pretty happy with Google Drive (except for the unwanted filesharing "exploit") and have never liked Dropbox ever
