Automatically pause Dropbox Backup/syncing to allow unmounting of external drive.
Stop Dropbox from preventing unmounting of drives that are currently being backed up. Instead pause backup and allow unmounting. Resume backup when drive is mounted again.
(Same behavior could maybe be implemented for sync (Dropbox folder), but at least for backup of external drives.)
Backblaze does this, so it's clearly possible.

This is such a good suggestion! It’s super frustrating when you can’t unmount a drive because dropbox is holding onto it. Hopefully dropbox considers adding this feature.

Not sure about the Backblaze thing now though, it's a little bit hard to test.
