I sync the entire /note folder to PC and between Boox devices using syncthing.
When I click on the .note file on another Boox device it asks if you want to import the file into a note, and voila, you are working on a native copy of the Note, not a PDF copy.
This is not transparent syncing as it creates a new Note (with a new name) on the other device, but it always works...

I have attempted this and failed as and no ".note" file is being created, or I cannot find it anywhere. What FW version are you running and what device?
Also, when it comes to PDF backups, even if DB was eventually uninstalled, if the DropBox account is still bound, the PDFs are still being uploaded to DB each time I exit a notepad, so SyncThing may be redundant at that point.
Another downside for me is that if you have two Onyx devices two separate DB folders are being created, each one named with the device's name.
These were my steps:
1 - Installed DropBox
2 - Bound account
3 - Checked "Auto turn Wi-Fi on to sync notes to other accounts after exiting a notepad", which essentially automates the Wi-Fi and switched it on after exiting the notepad, in case it is off (pretty cool, BUT what is even cooler... on an older second Onyx tablet I have, which is running an older FW (v3.2.1), it would also TURN OFF the Wi-Fi after the sync is done)
4 - Checked"Automatically generate PDF files after exiting a notepad"
5 - Uninstalled DropBox
