With such a huge investment comes the obligation to eventually pay it back. Is this another one of my favourite tools going the way of Dropbox, 1Password and all other companies that were formed around what should be a platform feature, which took on way too large investment sums and were eventually forced to become the everything, losing sight of their core values?

I sincerely hope not, but there's so much bad precedent.

Dropbox has been fine ish? Like not stellar but it’s still something I use as one of my core tools and pay for.

Ditto, but the fact that they still can’t handle more than ~300k files is a long-standing problem they have yet to solve. I have close to a million syncing files and startup time for the app takes about 20 minutes on a brand new MBP, and CPU and overall energy usage is ridiculously high. All while they keep pushing me to backup more files.

I pay over $700/ yr for their business plan and would like to have better performance for it.

Really? I have more than 1000k files and I have never faced issues for more than 7 years.
