Recently I got a new phone and found out and tried to install Dropbox on it. New limitation imposed is that I have unlink other devices so that I have max of only 3 devices on the account or pay $10 per month for whopping 1TB of cloud storage and have more devices on the account.
Most working people these days have one office computer, a personal computer, a personal phone or phone provided by the office (sometimes 2 phones) and some have a tablet.
I already have a Google One shared account with my wife sharing 200GB and we really use 100GB with head room. Dropbox would cost us $240 per year if we switched to the Dropbox plus 1TB plan.
I found 2 alternatives. Phones and Tablet (Android and IOS) can connect to Google Drive App anyway. Google Sync works on PC and Mac and you have replacement for Dropbox. If you use Linux such as easy to use ubuntu with much less concern about virus (I had zero virus attack issued with Ubuntu since 2006) and more stable than Mac, Google Sync is not available on Ubuntu or any linux. However, there is a one time paid product called inSync for $29 which can be installed on multiple machines using the same google account to sync. It makes your Google storage work like Dropbox.
There is an alternative to Dropbox if you need no more than 10GB. It is called pCloud from a small Swiss company and it has App for Android, IOS and works on Windows, Mac and Linux. I tried that it works fine.
I will provide some links here to help you migrate from Dropbox. Be aware that these links may change.
