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.

Still no solution Daphne. Various reasons offered, and various work arounds - but the core issue is Dropbox failing to keep up with the Apple updates and deal with this. There are a lot of threads on this. Trying to start a ticket shows me all the unresolved threads that have been closed with unsatisfactory "solutions' - and most 'sulitions' are different! One Super User says Dropbox doesn't support decryption. The problem is that it USED to and now it doesn't. It's obviously been a problem for a few months and the best Dropbox can suggest is "not our problem, talk to Apple, or Microsoft, or anybody". Really?
