I want to set up Selective Sync, and I used tobr able to do it with the Desktop App. How can I do that now?
Please don't insult the user community by telling us about all the great new stuff that Dropbox has when you're taking away something we've been counting on.
you know what stinks?
Im narrowing down what system to migrate to.. and they all have a few perks over Dropbox, they all have a few cons to Dropbox..
But none of them are what Im used to in being a Dropbox user forever.. ughWell by the looks of it Dropbox does not care if they lose business. I was chatting on Discord with a few friends about it, one friend said that the company he works for has 60+ people and they are complaining about the "New and Improved Dropbox" changes so they are shopping around for something new. They have contacted Dropbox but have not received an answer from a human, only a bot. I just looked it up and 60 people using Dropbox cost $1,250.00 a month or $12,000.00 a year if they don't care about that then they definitely don't care about us.
- You can still control Selective Sync and local files thru the preferences for the Mac desktop integration. As a Mac user I can’t say the same for Windows but would expect it’s probably similar
What's available on Mac has no relevance whatsoever for non-Mac users. Please forgive the diatribe, but the Mac world is based on a model of appealing aesthetics, monopoly pricing, and aggressive use of intellectual-property laws. It is diametrically opposed to the philosophy of open source.
Is this why I can't login to the App on my MacBook and keep getting the "something went wrong" popup? Even though I can login on iOS and Web?
