Can you really not see the difference between this[0] and this[1]?

This really feels like a "What's the value in Dropbox when everyone has access to rsync and bash?" situation.

I still don't see the value of dropbox, it seems to remove control, suck up resources, and occasionally wipe out files.

I can see that it's easier to setup for someone who doesn't know how to use WireGuard, but not how it would benefit me personally. I guess SSO is nice.

I think it's more like... "What's the value in Dropbox when I'm already running Nextcloud?"

The value is you can stop running Nextcloud.
