Disaster: Dropbox removing external disk support for Mac users :(
In case anyone's unaware... if you're a Mac user storing your Dropbox on an external drive, you'll shortly lose that ability. https://talk.tidbits.com/t/dropbox-drops-support-for-storing-files-on...
Nederkoorn I’m not sure to whom you are directing this complaint but I hope it’s not me, because we are in complete agreement.
ArthurPix I guess it's towards dropbox right? I also agree to the criticism (against them) – this situation is a disaster. And the lack of communication is beyond unprofessional. And, there seems to be conflicting info depending on who you speak to. I personally have heard from the DB support that they ar NOT working on a solution, whereas other support staff members have stated that they indeed ARE working on it. Who knows? It really sucks.
- I think the lack of clear communication on a situation over a year old, encouraging the mostly professional user side to maintain an increasingly untenable legacy setup is borderline criminal. If anyone has a suggestion for a service that functions well for Mac Pro users with external drives please let us know as I will be jumping ship in the coming months if there’s not clear indication soon.
juliolio this is what happens when a single company dominates a sector, then innovation stops and they no longer need to develop their product...
ArthurPix Sync.com is laggy like you said yourself... certainly not a reliable workaround for professionals and professional freelancers. Also the sync is really slow compared to Dropbox speeds and the indexing system different too (Dropbox being far superior).
