> Dropbox still has the best sync by far than any other system

This is a common dev thought. But almost no company in the world is going to care about that. You can onboard some consumer with that point but I hope they don't actually try to sign companies using that.

Of course it doesn't matter if it's just used for syncing some office files but Dropbox is common in creative fields like video production and visual effects where sync performance is a real selling point.

Except it matters to users. When you’re trying to collaborate in real-time with folks, poor sync gets noticed.
