I hope someone is "just using rsync" to backup their Dropbox.

Yes, I also hope that.

Should be very simple:

  ssh user@rsync.net rclone sync dropbox:rsynctest rsynctestdirectory

... or something like that[1].

Oh, you meant rsync the command ...

Sorry I was mistaken:

> For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

Hope someone is doing this to backup their Dropbox :-)
