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.

All this 33 page non-sense thread could be fixed by offering Pro users Google Drive-like Plans (up to 30TB since 2021!) or incremental extensions (eg. 6TB, 9TB, 12TB etc.) to finally fit with our needs in 2023!
If Dropbox finally unlocks their rubbish 3TB (+1TB) limitation I can finally get rid of my external SSD drive, make the most of my maxed out MBP M1 (having an internal 8TB SSD) and when Apple releases a 16TB option later on I will feel better knowing that Dropbox is a non-issue, since I will simply need to update the Pro plan from 9TB to 18TB in due time, with a simple click just like Google Drive is offering.
No more external hard drive sync concern then. Easily fixed: just increase the maxed Pro plans.
And everyone can move on getting things done instead of feeding this annoying thread.
Not so simple. Those of us that need file sharing and have big teams and multiple clients, we can't expect everyone to have a 4TB internal harddrive. External drives were, are, and will always be a must to the media industry.
