Dropbox MacOS extension supporting > Monterey?
Hi. I've just upgraded my Mac to MacOS Monterey and received the warning below. Apple recommends that I contact Dropbox about this, and though I am a paying customer, the only support mechanism tha...
- Hi GregHutchings, thanks for reaching out.
First of all, please ensure that you're signed into your paid account in order to see all available support options.
This message is about how a component will behave on a future release of a macOS. There's no change in the way Dropbox will work on your computer (and your data will continue to be accessible, too).
We're hard at work on full support for online-only files on future macOS versions. In the meantime, if you have any issues opening online-only content, you can still do so by double clicking on your files in Finder.
Let me know in case you need something else!
I am in the process of moving all my Dropbox files to iCloud. 22 GB and it is taking forever.
Dropbox had a year to prepare for Monterey and they ignored the situation and did nothing.
They claim their engineers are working on it for a future release. Meanwhile there is no beta in testing.
Dropbox had turned their backs on Mac OS. I am not part of a team. I don’t need collaboration on file creation. I don’t need a signature collection tool.
I am a single user that needs cloud storage and the ability to share files that are too large to send as e-mail attachments.
ICloud will meet my needs and I will be leaving Dropbox soon.

FogCityNative How is iCloud working for you? Please post the pros and cons of iCloud vs Dropbox. Dropbox has worked 99.99% flawless for us for years. iDisk was very unusable and iCloud seems okay but I'm not sure how it compares to Dropbox. It is even the same thing? Is there an icon up in the menu bar for iCloud like Dropbox? Is there online only files and able to go online to see files on iCloud? I know when it came out it wasn't the same thing as Dropbox. Please let me know pros and cons. Anyone?
