I gave up on Dropbox long time ago. Maybe I am wrong, but with data loss and other issues, especially limit on space, I found BTSync better suited for my needs. It's been working for years now.
I think Dropbox could've innovated much more then they did, to make their offering more compelling to guys like me. They didn't and that is unfortunate. I think they feel pressured now but it might be a little late and their solutions are kind of artificial and inspired by others... (paper for example)
Fellow BTSync (now Resilio Sync) user. Lately, even its mobile clients feel superior to Dropbox. I have a "master" computer that has everything synced to it, then use backblaze to back up everything offsite (it stores historical files/edits as well). I'm 100% satisfied.
I currently use both, but I am thinking of switching fully to Resilio Sync. Given Dropbox disregard for proper security, I don't want them to run in kernel space (via a kext).
The only downside of Resilio Sync is that the sharing story is not yet great.

I've been using it for at least 2 yrs if not more now. Zero issues.
Well, once I deleted files in misguided effort to move them. They were deleted from all machines :). It wasn't a big deal, it just shows it works.
