One of the big things I love about Dropbox is automatic version control of the file.

Google docs has a similar feature built in too I think.




I switched from dropbox to mega years ago when the former removed Linux support. TIL mega have version support so I need to enable that and try it out.

First thing I do on a new device is setup my mega shared drives - and there is a lot of plaintext files there!


Dropbox never removed linux-support at all, or sync specifically. They removed support for some esoteric filesystems which lacked certain features. For most people dropbox on linux did not stopped working.


Been using it on Linux for many years but it does feel like their Linux support has gotten worse.


Dropbox removed Linux support? It seems to work fine for me on arch Linux with btrfs.


It was sync specifically, and four years ago. Maybe it works now.

If I remember well, they removed the ability to host Dropbox folder on a encrypted drive.
