What do you mean? Dropbox is integrated into Windows using the Cloud Files API, which handles dynamically downloading files as needed, the ability to mark files so they’re always available offline, etc.
Or did you mean a deeper integration like how Windows shows ads for OneDrive?
I like that it’s a separate application. I had issues with the way OneDrive integrated with Windows/Office and conflicts with my corporate OneDrive account (this was a while ago, this may have been fixed).
I always prefer to have a full local copy (Google Drive, which a use for specific data has been really annoying with this) without using Cloud Files API or any extra features. A literal cloud sync of specific folder, nothing else.
I mostly use Dropbox out of habit (and because I have a grandfathered account). I’ve been meaning to switch to ProtonDrive (already have a paid account with them for email), just haven’t got to it yet.
I have 20 gigs free from when they had free permanent storage upgrades by referrals. I referred a bunch of “friends” with temporary email and virtual machines since it checked it wasn’t just being in stalled on an existing machine.
This was over a decade ago and it’s still the highest storage free tier.
One advantage of Dropbox is that it is not that integrated into Windows/office.
I use Dropbox, albeit I have an old free account with much more storage than their 2GB base.
