I haven't used it with Dropbox, but #InSync (https://www.insynchq.com/) does a great job with Google Drive syncing, being faster than even the official Google Drive app (Linux performance compared to the windows google drive app)
It does support dropbox, though. And you pay once per account you sync with (can use it on any number of machines, last I checked). It's not open source, though.
