The Dropbox Plus is for extra storage space. 5GB free just ain't enough.

I submitted a request twice for a dialog box asking the user whether to overwrite or not for books downloaded from sources other than Dropbox (OPDS, internal web browser, iOS share sheet). This was back when Marvin was still in active development. It never was implemented despite how relatively simple the request is and considering it's already being done for books downloaded from Dropbox.

Meanwhile, when Dropbox changed something in the API, that was fixed almost immediately. Iirc, Marvin hadn't been updated in over a year prior to the Dropbox fix release.

In any case, Marvin's still better for me compared to other ereader apps I tried. Hence, I adapted my workflow to accommodate Marvin and switched to Dropbox instead of OPDS/web.

It's why I never got into Calibre Companion. It's a major hassle trying to overwrite in-progress fanfics (switch to CC, send to Marvin, import fails, search for book in Marvin, delete book, switch to CC, send to Marvin again).
