What you've described is not at all an equivalent for Dropbox. There are many, many features that your stack doesn't support.

Ok, then docker compose some Nextcloud on it, that’ll be some 20 lines? Add some more for Treafik for the let’s encrypt certs.

Asking a non technical person to run and maintain docker containers is absurd.

I would argue that "failing" to interpret sarcasm in this context is generally the fault of the person employing sarcasm. With none of the other cues that are available IRL (tone of voice, body language, facial expression, etc.) there's very little to tell a reader what is meant to be taken literally, versus taken as sarcasm. So yeah, if a writer doesn't include /s or ⸮ or whatever, that's on them if their words are misunderstood.

Are people still using dropbox? I thought other integrated service such as google drive and onedrive would have drove dropbox to the grave

It's the only solution still that "just works" on all OSs and mobile devices. I spent a year trying to use alternatives like Syncthing and Resilio and they all have pain points, especially on mobile. Gave up and just paid for Dropbox. I would gladly self host if there was an option that worked well on mobile.

Such as? Syncthing + NextCloud + rsnapshot backups would have been my open-source alternative recommendation, but of course not everyone wants to take the time to learn that skillet, set that up, and maintain it.

Are those features of sftp? It cvs? Or the vps provider? Or are you saying, "well, with a completely different stack I can get closer to feature parity"?

You can get the whole package from Hetzner pre-configured, or just configure it yourself. I manage our team's nextcloud installation, and installing on bare-metal (sans containers) is a half day job at most.

Moreover Nextcloud supports WebDav which allows tools like Zotero to directly tap into that.
