Files on one of my devices won't become available on my other devices
There are so many things wrong with this "service" it is hard to know where to begin. I very much regret having paid to used it. As soon as I can find another service that behaves reliably like a sim...
I am really at my wit's end with dropbox. For the solution of every problem I am told to reinstall the program. That takes hours, days even, of work. The Dropbox install scripts do not let me point to my existing directory that is in a different location than the default one. Then I have to stop the synchronization. But the old folder (not in the default location) cannot be used directly. I have to let dropbox create a new folder and then again stop the sync process. Then I have to move my ~1 TB of files from the old to the new location which takes a long time. Then I have to restart the sync which can take a day or more. This is beyond absurd. It belies an incompetent software design. And it is maddening. I've already had to do that numerous times before.
Then, if that is not enough, Dropbox insists in putting its folder icon at the top of my directory tree. And that icon cannot be deleted or moved. I do not want it there. To remove it I have to search the windows registry and change every instance of the registry value associated with dropbox named System.IsPinnedtoNameSpaceTree from 1 to 0. That also takes an hour or more.
The sheer arrogance of this company to assume it knows best how I should organize my own computer is topped only by the brittleness of its incompetently designed and programmed, bug laden software, which fails to do its basic functions constantly.
I have had it.
