Agreed. I use Syncthing[1] and it's great. It just sits in the background and works like Dropbox used to. If you have a NAS or some other always-on machine it acts as a good master for syncing things.

Syncthing. It's amazing. I use it across my NixOS workstation, M1 Macbook, home lab server (acting as an "always on" folder to always fetch syncs), and my Steam Deck.
If you use Nix it's really easy to setup: https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/nixos/...
Worth mention the open source project Maestral: https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral
(an unofficial Dropbox client)
The one thing that's kept me from SyncThing is the lack of iOS integration [1]. But the changes Apple has forced on Dropbox here might make me reconsider.
