Currently, Maestral does not support Dropbox Paper, the management of Dropbox teams and the management of shared folder settings.

The focus on "simple" file syncing does come with advantages: on macOS, the Maestral App bundle is 80% smaller than the official Dropbox app (50 MB vs 290 MB) and uses much less memory (100 MB vs 800 MB for a medium sized Dropbox on macOS).
