Currently, Maestral does not support Dropbox Paper, the management of Dropbox teams and the management of shared folder settings. If you need any of this functionality, please use the Dropbox website or the official client. As of version 0.3.0, Maestral does support the syncing of multiple Dropbox accounts.
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 (130 MB vs 800 MB, since the "new" Dropbox v82.4). The app size and memory footprint can be further reduced when installing and running Maestral without a GUI.

The memory usage will depend on the size of your synced Dropbox folder and can be further reduced when running Maestral without a GUI.
