Does this work for mounting Dropbox for Business folders? If so, this solves a significant problem for Linux users of Dropbox (whose official Linux client does not support account switching).

If you are talking about having multiple Dropbox accounts on Linux here it goes. You may not see two systray icons but Dropbox daemons works in background.

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.

SpiderOak looks interesting. The biggest features for me missing from other "sync a folder to the cloud" type services are selective syncing on a machine-by-machine basis and generating public links for my files. These are the only two things keeping me away from iCloud Drive.

Just checked them out. They're pricing is super competitive too.

Do they have the 'un-delete' feature that Dropbox has?

What's the considered opinion on SpiderOak after the whole warrant canary thing?

I switched to Syncthing with the main desktop backed up to S3 with zbackup (encrypted). Syncthing works really well (and faster!) when keeping laptops and desktops in sync for my case.

They are located in the united states. That alone is more than enough to push me away.
