I tried to switch away from paid 1TB Dropbox to the bundled ("free") 1TB OneDrive that's bundled with the Office subscription I need to have from time to time.
Filesystem integration with the Mac was disastrous. Three problems: 1- some characters are not permitted in filenames; you find this out when synch fails and have to guess where the problem is; 2 - some files simply silently don't synch; and 3 - a couple of times a day it would decide it had lost synch and then would have to re-index the repo, which not only took up cycles (I could survive that) but meant there was no synching while that was happening.
Whereas I just have almost everything in my DB directory tree and even do all my development there (builds and all).
At my last company we had Box which is almost identical with Dropbox but with a much more complex interface to satisfy corporate I/T. Total overkill for a startup!
