I bought one and I don't understand the love. The device itself is wonderful. It's great that you _can_ ssh into it and do whatever. But by default, you can't even hook it up to DropBox/iCloud/GoogleDrive/whatever. The only supported way to get things off the device is by email, so in effect, in order for it to be useful, you _must_ set up rsync or some other custom process and risk bricking it and voiding your warranty. I'm pretty sure I could do that safely, but for almost $500, I shouldn't have to risk that. I returned mine.

Dropbox and Google Drive integration arrived with the latest update earlier this month.

I think you're forgetting reMarkable's own built-in cloud storage which syncs the device with the desktop and mobile apps. Additionally, you can access a built-in web interface on the device whenever it's connected to your computer via USB.

Oh, that integration does changes things. I admit that I did forget about the built-in cloud storage, but that was more cumbersome than email for me. And plugging in a USB cable seemed particularly low-tech for 2021.
