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...
DropBox Users: You just destroyed our years long workflow. Literally everyone knows that internal drives don't have the capacity needed for a huge number of DropBox users. We'll lose business and suffer significant costs because of this.
DropBox: Welp, can we interest you in AI while we fire a ton of our workforce?
"Dropbox on Thursday announced plans to cut 500 employees, or about 16% of its workforce, according to a blog post on the company’s website.
Dropbox CEO Drew Houston wrote in the blog post that the company has been reckoning with slowing growth, in part due to a maturation of its business, but also as a result of economic headwinds that are pressuring its customers.
Houston said that the company is also facing an urgency to focus more on artificial intelligence-powered products, and doing so will require hiring workers with different skill sets."
ppadmin Oh Drew. You just don’t get it, do you? The last thing I won’t from Dropbox is AI features. The first thing I want is SUPPORT FOR EXTERNAL DRIVES.
Just got an email from dropbox..
All your stuff when and where you want it.. well unless you want it on an external drive.psalcal that's brilliant. Made my weekend. 🤣
ppadmin they just can't help themselves. They cannot fix one thing properly and they yet go on about something else they must do now. How about fixing this rather large problem first? No wonder they're in trouble.
"Dropbox CEO Drew Houston wrote in the blog post that the company has been reckoning with slowing growth, in part due to a maturation of its business, but also as a result of economic headwinds that are pressuring its customers." No mate, not that at all. Everyone is just now better than you. They've turned themselves into a Microsoft type of company, bloatware. So sad.
Doesn't matter to me anymore. I've moved about 2TB over to Sync already and am starting the copying of all our video files next week. Doing it a really long way round but should save me personally a load of time.
