As a happy user I second this. I've never been let down by their sync -- set it and forget it.
Also: thank you for Linux support :)
I would add:
* They only offer one service. I consider this a feature: they're not off building smart cars, they're not about to release a Dropbox wearable.
* It's not tied to any platform (Microsoft, Apple, Google). It's their core product. They have to be dependable.
* They charge money. None of my folders are brought to me by coca-cola. They're not "Sorted based on intelligent algorithms". And never has Dropbox prompted me with "Check out what documents are trending with your friends!"
* They don't encourage me to just keep everything "on the cloud". All my data is still on my devices.
It's a solid, dead simple, stable product that I hope never goes away.
