funny enough the guy behind the project also has an app like that https://github.com/zmeyer44/OpenVitals (and regarding contributors for all of his projects, it's mostly vibe-coded)
Think of OpenVitals more as "Don't pay $300/yr for a chatGPT wrapper medical app, just use this with your existing test results for free"

Neat! Pricing wise it might not always make sense though to use the commercial blob storages, especially for solo usage. 1 TB is roughly 20-30 USD per month at AWS/GCP only in storage, plus traffic and operations. R2 is slightly cheaper and includes traffic. Compared to e.g a Google AI plan where you get 5 TB storage for the same price (25 USD/month) + Gemini Pro thrown in.
The selling point of Dropbox/Google Drive isn't the storage itself, but that there's app for mobile and desktop operating systems which deeply integrates it in the OS so it's just like a local folder that's magically synced. So it's a cool project, but not really what I'd say is a Dropbox replacement.
Yep. Open source Dropbox is really Nextcloud - https://nextcloud.com
Feature request: Google Drive for desktop.
That is the feature that gives your drive as a mounted file system that stream files as you need them.
It gives me the ease of having access to a giant amount of files stored in my gdrive without having to worry about the space they take up locally nor moving files up and down.
Actually, what solutions to that might already exist? I don't really use the web UI of gdrive as much as use it as a cloud disk drive.
Why would I want to replace my reliance on them with reliance on Amazon or another cloud provider? I'd rather control the whole stack, even if it means deploying my own hardware to one or more redundant, off-site locations. Edit: Are there robust, open source, self-hosted, S3-compliant engines out there reliable and performant enough to be the backend for this?

I bought 35$/mo 16TB server from OVH. I am running 2 replicas of Garage, one on this server. I am using this for backup for now but probably I will also move my Nextcloud files there and websites. This is fine for now and less pricey than any S3 provider I was able to find.
I would have considered it when rebuilding my media infra but haven't seen anything close to this

Not trying to be snarky but what is offline dropbox more than a directory?
Syncthing? I'm taking 'offline' to mean 'not requiring the internet', which means you can have plenty of computers!
