Cool project but calling it a Dropbox replacement is doing a disservice to both Dropbox and to people who might actually use this for important files. Dropbox is a sync engine. This is a web UI over object storage. Those are fundamentally different products solving fundamentally different problems

Same for Drive, which has the office suite included in people's minds.

I'm def looking for an alternative, taking proton for a test drive this week, because they have the office tools, which I didn't know and assume they are not as good, but hopefully good enough for my usage
