说明
maestral is a lightweight Dropbox client for Linux and macOS. It provides file synchronization without the heavy resource usage of the official client. The daemon runs in the background, monitoring local changes and syncing with Dropbox. Selective sync excludes unwanted folders to save disk space. Unlike the official client, Maestral is open-source and uses fewer system resources. It supports the core sync functionality without extras like camera uploads or screenshots. Multiple Dropbox accounts can be configured using different configuration names. Each runs as a separate daemon with its own sync folder. The status command shows sync progress, conflicts, and errors. Activity shows recent file changes. Notifications alert on sync events.
