After Dropbox stopped supporting filesystems besides non-encrypted Ext4 I've dropped it entirely. I now use SpiderOak One, which doubles as E2E encrypted cloud backup in addition to folder sync.

What's the considered opinion on SpiderOak after the whole warrant canary thing? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17696276
I don't think either is great to use with lots of data as upload and download seem quite slow, but for my use case of just storing documents it is fine.
Waiting for someone to implement dropbox-based deployment of a PHP site.

Also worth noting their "zero-knowledge" stuff is broken as soon as you log in to the website or use one of the mobile apps, at which point the server has your key.

In theory it might have really good performance due to your kernel caching blocks and files, and 25Gbit throughput to S3. Dependent of course on your instance being in EC2 and in the right region and having a big enough instance to get 25Gbit network. I tried AWS EFS and found the performance very sad. Like 100Mbit e…
If you like, you can now specifically provision throughput for EFS at the rate of about $6 per MiB/s (8Mbps) per month.

You can make an Ext4 filesystem in a file, loopback mount that and point Dropbox at it. Works just fine.
rclone mount also works with the 20 or so cloud providers supported by rclone (s3, gcs, swift, box, dropbox, b2, etc).
rclone runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and quite a few other architectures! It is written in Go.
The author should think about applying to Dropbox ;)

How about truecrypt/veracrypt with Dropbox ?
