I've been a Dropbox user for over a decade, but I'm now actively considering leaving the service and exclusively using iCloud+ to store/sync all of the files that I currently have stored in my Dropbox folder (*don't really like the idea of paying $120/year for Dropbox when I'm already paying a subscription fee for iCloud+ that might already have the same basic functionality).
I know that Dropbox is loaded with all sorts of bells and whistles that iCloud doesn't have, but in reality, I primary use Dropbox to keep all of my files in sync between my laptop and desktop computers, and also for incremental/versioned/automatic backups of all of my files in the Dropbox folder. It seems that iCloud+ also syncs files seamlessly between my two Mac computers (and makes those synced files available to my on my mobile devices via the Files app; and it also backs up the files in the iCloud Drive folder.
Are there any glaring differences between the two services that I should consider before dumping Dropbox completely? What are some of the main features/capabilities that one service has that the other doesn't (and vice versa)?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
