"google.protobuf.service module is deprecated"

Maybe it is still the Linux client only relying on Protobuf, but something tells me this is a big part of the backend and no one has had the cue to try to replace it with something in house they could license to their competition later because you are busy playing chickens without heads chasing around the LLM boogeyman at the behest of shareholders that are simple and believe the vector algebra an intelligent being because they are not such beings. 


If so, then Dropbox is radically overpriced compared to say, Yandex Disk or PCloud and offers me nothing a cut-rate cloud drive service would offer other than useless features I don't want or need (I don't need Docusign functionality, I want a cloud drive that doesn't take 5 years to get 500 GBs of data into). No special optimizations, no special functionality unless I use Windows or Mac because caching on Linux (which means making a $HOME/.cache/dropbox directory with a single line of code then would be identical to the way it works on Apple) was too much for the dev team to rack their brains with. 


Because your API works the way it does, and I am unwilling to dive deeply into forcing your product not to suck for more your benefit than mine, using rclone is render nearly unworkable even with the special flags and hours of research as to what they are and what they do. So I try your Linux client (I use NixOS but the variant is the Ubuntu supported client tricked by Nix into thinking directories are where it expects them, spare me that cop out please) and get this warning, which is more than a little annoying as it implies that you are really just a typical SOMA cash grab that offers a minimum viable product and probably is aware of numerous "0 days" in that product that so long as the customer doesn't know about you don't care and laugh all the way to the bank because putting in the effort to make something worth the monthly subscription price, diving deep enough into technical complexities, is hard so why bother when you could be writing your Codex  Vitae, your magnum opus of virtue signaling.
