#2What is dropbox basic? I see no explanation anywhere.
It's been ages since I visited dropbox but my god how things have changed. Every flow and part of their website is about converting people to paid.

Now called resilio sync. I use it for my home machines and it is pretty fantastic.

#6They freed up the half-dozen devices on my account when they stopped supporting anything other than vanilla ext4 on Linux.

#7I'm a little sad that there's no low price offering comparable to Google drives 2$/100GB. I just don't need a TB of personal space but I like the dropbox client a lot better. Especially because of linux support and for some reason syncing seems to be significantly faster.

#8"Devices" are both PCs and smartphones, is that correct?

Dropbox uses full differential syncing, the only mainstream client that does that universally. Onedrive only differential syncs with office files. Google drive, well, uses full file syncing for every file.

Beware that I deployed it in an enterprise environment (after a successful pilot and having used it successfully on my, small, network for months) and it often failed when tasked with rapidly changing files from multiple different clients. This was on a 30-client/3 buildings on a point-to-point VPN setup.
The customer lost data on regular basis and I had to back out from the solution. This was when it still was btsync, and may be it meanwhile has improved, but just test it with a significant number of client and concurrent edits before trying a (relatively) big deploy.
