Both the Dropbox client and the server are closed source.  (The shims
integrating with Nautilus are open, but they rely on a closed source
daemon running on your machine.)

The UbuntuOne client is fully open source, AFAIU.

So there is some slight superiority, for those who care about the
freeness of the software.  (But they will still be unhappy about the
UbuntuOne server being closed.)
