Ask HN: How do you use Dropbox without the cruft?

2 pointsby why-oh-whyabout 4 years ago
Dropbox used to magically sync a folder across the web and show its status in the menu bar. Nowadays it&#x27;s its own 400MB app which <i>also</i> syncs file.<p>I don&#x27;t want that.<p>How can I continue using Dropbox the way it was ideated without having to deal with an <i>app?</i> Even a plain hourly&#x2F;daily sync cronjob would be good enough for me.<p>Note: I need Dropbox specifically because some colleagues use it.

I use rsync.net for this kind of purpose. Love it.
