Quite apart from the fact that it doesn't really matter whether rsync or dropbox sits in the background making a transfer in the first place, so the claimed advantage appears to be non-existent to start with! JMHO. And rsync doesn't impose terms and conditions on you. (My employer forbids dropbox usage for that reason, for example).
