Dropbox files no longer inherit folder permissions

pwc  I agree with everything you say... Personally we are going for a mixture of OneDrive (for personal folders) and Sharepoint libraries (for shared folders). Like you, we are already paying for O365, so it's a zero cost solution. I don't really have any choice but to jump ship, as my users' files on the server are turning read-only, thanks to Dropbox, and all hell is breaking loose with everyone saving multiple versions to get around it :-)

It works OK, but has it's own idosyncrasies, as you say. You still have to use additional software like AlwaysUp to keep it running as a service on a server. For our solution above, you have to set clients to sync OneDrive, then each Sharepoint library individually, which is a bit of a pain. On the other hand, it gives more flexibility over who sees what.

Our setup is fairly simple: 1 server + some office desktops + some remote laptops/iPads/phones - it shouldn't be this complicated to keep them all in sync in this day and age!
