WebDAV is a completely different approach, and gives you a traditional
network filesystem: a single set of files, shared over the net by many
users.

Dropbox uses a proprietary protocol to keep a set of local files in
sync on different computers. An open source clone of it would be a
heavy lift, considering that you need developers who can write
equivalent file manager extensions for Windows, OSX, and Linux, along
with the server architecture to keep it all going.
