The author should think about applying to Dropbox ;)
Isn't the author a Dropbox employee? Not sure if he's still at Dropbox but I believe he's one of the first employees.

Very fast. I can bootstrap the compiler in under a minute. Compilation times are further reduced while developing thanks to incremental compilation.
Sounds great! What about debugging? I understand that Nim compiles to C/C++ so I am curious if I can use Xcode on a Mac and Visual Studio on Windows to debug the generated C/C++ code.
For those using Nim: how is the compile speed?

One bug I found is that open tracking does not seem to be working.
Maybe a way to submit feedback right from the app would be useful.

Dropbox is one of those products that is just a pleasure to use (like Stripe). Sync works seamlessly. I've tried all other alternatives and gotten back to being a paid customer of Dropbox. I think it also boils down to most of your employees being passionate, smart folks from MIT, CMU and the like. Good luck to them with the IPO.
The product works well for consumer use cases. However, when it comes to business use their technology isn't there yet. The upcoming Project Infinite will however be a step forward.

rclone is great. Thanks to its use of multi-threading you can download and upload pretty much at line speeds. It would be even better if it provided file-delta type operations, but maybe this is a limitation of OneDrive itself.
I really should put some time aside to write a script I've been thinking about:
1) Poll [somefolder] every 10 seconds (or whatever). Or watch with inotify.
2) On change, wait [5 seconds] and if change remains the same...
3) `borg create [oneDriveRepo]::[somefolder]` (does a delta backup with deduplication and lz4 compression, can be FUSE-mounted, and can be encrypted).
4) rclone -> [oneDriveRepo] -> onedrive.
And the reverse in the other direction I guess.
This is a limitation of OneDrive indeed as it doesn't support delta sync.
