Why did the location of my Dropbox folder change?
Today I noticed that right clicking on files in my Dropbox folder (the ones pinned to my Finder sidebar) did not bring up the Dropbox menu options.
After further investigation I realized that...
Utterly unacceptable Dropbox moved the default location of the local sync folder and removed the option to move the folder to a custom location without adequate notification. Even now, the documentation on this isn't real clear and I've been unable to find a reasonable explanation for why this was done.
What is the benefit of this change? Nothing I've seen so far. Only confusion and workflow disruption.
I may be using Dropbox to sync file between devices, but they're still my files. It's not okay for Dropbox to move them around on my local drive without my consent.
I was actually considering moving to a paid subscription. This incident has eliminated that possibility.
This (along with using the lamest avatars in interweb history) is exactly how great companies fail.
