Sekvora vs Dropbox: the cloud drive, minus the sync client
Dropbox is a mature, sync-first product with a long history. Sekvora takes the lighter approach: a cloud drive that mounts as a local disk using the WebDAV support already built into macOS, Windows, and Linux — no daemon, no sync folder, nothing to install.

Pick what fits.
Both can be right.
- You want a cloud drive that mounts in Finder or Explorer — no sync daemon running on every device.
- You want to share a folder as a read-only drive your recipients can mount too.
- You want password-protected and expiring share links at a single price, not gated behind higher tiers.
- You'd rather pay $9 for 1 TB than $12 for 2 TB you won't use.
- You depend on Dropbox’s desktop sync for selective-sync across machines.
- You need native integrations with a long tail of enterprise tools that already speak Dropbox.
- You need iOS and Android apps today.
- You genuinely need the 2 TB headroom at Dropbox Plus pricing.
Sync vs mount
Dropbox's core value is making files appear identically on every device — at the cost of a sync client running everywhere. Sekvora's core value is making the cloud feel local: mount the drive once and work on files in place, with nothing to install.
Pricing shape
Dropbox skips mid-size tiers and goes straight to 2 TB at $11.99. If you need 1 TB, you're paying for capacity you won't touch. Sekvora Pro gives you that 1 TB at $9.
