Dropbox support for MacOS 12.3 - can we finally upgrade?
Hi, I cannot find anywhere anyone saying that Dropbox properly supports MacOS 12.3, even though it was released weeks ago and has now been superseded by 12.3.1 with zero-day fixes. I can find discus...
Still no official notification that Dropbox is out of Beta yet. Nice to see that dropbox is working with it's customers to move this forward as soon as possible. God this company has gone to sh*t.
Like everything else in the world at the moment, you will take what we give you and you will continue to pay for sub-standard items and you will like it.
One of my clients was denied the beta due to too many files in their Dropbox, so it looks like there is another hurdle to get over in regards to the beta being primetime.
I've got a massive amount of files, millions, so I'm not risking my Dropbox for a beta.
I cannot believe that they have still not finalised this and released it. It's been so long now and I think most people have given up. By the time they do finally release it proper we'll be on the next macOS, in which case they'll have to write a new version of Dropbox.
I finally had to upgrade my OS because I could no longer accept the risk of having an OS so out of date that it represents a major risk to my business. As such I now have to go through the painful process of dealing with Dropbox not automatically syncing files etc etc and at the same time now sucking up all the spare memory and processing power it can. My fans on my laptop have been non stop on all the time and Dropbox constantly says it's syncing, when it shouldn't be. That either tells me it never synced everything before and is therefore uploading new files, or old files I should say, or it's just on a constant cycle and stuck.
I used to love Dropbox. it was such a good piece of software but over the years it's just become bloatware and very akin to Microsoft, where it just builds on top of builds on top of builds on top of builds. I joined the beta programme as I was assured that once I upgraded my macOS I would get a notification to upgrade my Dropbox. Don't believe them. Absolute b*llocks that is.
I'm at a loss. I've been told the new Dropbox will be out in May. They just keep on delaying this. Obviously the concern for their customers is still [not] there and they'll just keep taking the money.
I switched my dropbox yesterday, it took about 4 hours before it was entirely done checking all the files (about 300k files). Had issues with continuous syncing too even though it wasn't doing anything, but for me it was some background process of dropbox still moving/checking everything. After about 2 additional hours the syncing was finally done, I got a popup from the Dropbox app saying it was done upgrading to the new Dropbox for Mac OS and all has been working fine since.
I can imagine if you have millions of files that'll need to be checked by the app if they were moved properly, it might take longer for it to really be done syncing etc.
