Dbxfs – A Dropbox-backed file system

(Non-shared.)<p>In theory it might have really good performance due to your kernel caching blocks and files, and 25Gbit throughput to S3. Dependent of course on your instance being in EC2 and in the right region and having a big enough instance to get 25Gbit network.<p>I tried AWS EFS and found the performance very sad. Like 100Mbit even with a 25Gbit instance and the highest-specced EFS filesystem.

After Dropbox stopped supporting filesystems besides non-encrypted Ext4 I&#x27;ve dropped it entirely.<p>I now use SpiderOak One, which doubles as E2E encrypted cloud backup in addition to folder sync.

Does this work for mounting Dropbox for Business folders? If so, this solves a significant problem for Linux users of Dropbox (whose official Linux client does not support account switching).

I&#x27;ll just note that you can mount Dropbox as a file system with rclone ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rclone.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rclone.org&#x2F;</a> ) using the rclone mount subcommand.<p>rclone mount also works with the 20 or so cloud providers supported by rclone (s3, gcs, swift, box, dropbox, b2, etc).<p>rclone runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and quite a few other architectures! It is written in Go.

In light of what Storj.io is about to bring to market, I&#x27;m curious to see if this could be modified to work with it. I&#x27;m a huge fan of Dropbox and have used it almost every day for the past 7 years, but if a decentralized option comes along with feature parity and comparable pricing, I&#x27;d switch in a heartbeat.

CloudMounter was pretty easy to setup and use. Provides encryption too...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudmounter.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudmounter.net&#x2F;</a>

The author should think about applying to Dropbox ;)

Waiting for someone to implement dropbox-based deployment of a PHP site.

We&#x27;ve come full circle from the original dropbox post on here
