Box vs Dropbox with Apple Silicon

I use both applications on my system - Dropbox for personal files and Box from my institution. What David and Stephen said in the File Management in the Cloud episode syncs with my experience. Dropbox is still unmatched in features and performance. If I add a file to Dropbox, I can share a link instantly while a new Box file sometimes takes several minutes to become shareable. In addition, Box recently updated their Mac syncing app, changing from Box Sync to Box Drive. The new Box Drive does not support Spotlight. Their legacy app Box Sync does support Spotlight.
