Sadly the only alternative that works like Dropbox (local folder that is a folder) is OneDrive.
google drive stream is some mounted crap that in macOS brakes pretty much everything.
iCloud drive is some strange folder somewhere so if you want to directly access it you need to go super deep in some secret folders.
Honestly, Dropbox works for me, I just ignore all the other stuff they try to push.
Sync data runs like it run the first time I used it.
The embrace between China's intelligence services and Chinese businesses has gotten tighter, U.S. officials say. In 2017, under Xi's intensifying authoritarianism, Beijing promulgated a new national intelligence law that compels Chinese businesses to work with Chinese intelligence and security agencies whenever they are requested to do so -- a move that codified "what was pretty much what was going on for many years before, though corruption had tempered it" previously, a former senior CIA official said.
In the final years of the Obama administration, national security officials had directed U.S. spy agencies to step up their intelligence collection on the relationship between the Chinese state and China's private industrial behemoths. By the advent of the Trump era, this effort had borne fruit, with the U.S. intelligence community piecing together voluminous evidence on coordination -- including back-and-forth data transfers -- between ostensibly private Chinese companies and that country's intelligence services, according to current and former U.S. officials. There was evidence of close public-private cooperation occurring on "a daily basis," according to a former Trump-era national security official. "Those commercial entities are the commercial wing of the party," the source said. "They of course cooperate with intelligence services to achieve the party's goals."
Beijing's access to, and ability to sift through, troves of pilfered and otherwise obtained data "gives [China] vast opportunities to target people in foreign governments, private industries, and other sectors around the world -- in order to collect additional information they want, such as research, technology, trade secrets, or classified information," said William Evanina, the United States' top counterintelligence official. "Chinese technology companies play a key role in processing this bulk data and making it useful for China's intelligence services," he said.
We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Web pages use SVG to render vector graphics. It uses the exact same imaging model as PDF and is implemented in all modern browsers. The web in general has taken a lot of lessons from Adobe because Warnock and Geshke, in the PostScript Red Book, got so much right about how to build an image model that many GUI developers are still learning today. If you start with a PDF, it should be possible to machine-translate it to SVG and present it as a web page.
PDF exists because it is trivial to generate it from the document renderer meant for printing. Although I have once in a while run into an improperly scaled PDF meant to be printed 8-up, I'm just not
Light/Data travels at a maximum speed and even if all people sit in the same city the lag is long enought so that if you want to quickly put in a comment you end up cutting off someone.
Also if you have 10 people with video on too it still sucks bandwidth wise, especially if all traffic has to go over VPN that is for some reason not upser fast.
Any meeting I had has at least one person with shit microphone where you can barely hear them, or echo or some other shit. I am sick of this crap.
The sooner the whole covid shit is cleaned up the sooner I hope we can go back to normal offices. This whole "we all gonna work from home from now on" is super bollocks. It just doesn't work. I am doing that since March. Fuck it.
