Hello everyone!
With my great delight, the small design company I work for decided to migrate from the awful OneDrive to Dropbox for Mac. While helping the owner test the new setup, I saw in setting that we're currently on the NON-FP version of the app.
While I understand that the old version was objectively better than the File Provider version, I'm wondering if it would be smart to force installation of the File Provider version to the entire team, rather than having them upgrade to FP down the line when the change is enforced for everyone. This article outlining the differences, notes that "While we recommend opting-in to the latest version of Dropbox for macOS on File Provider, this migration isn’t required for you to continue using Dropbox."
How long is the migration NOT going to be required? Is there an official timeline? Can we expect to use the NON-FP version of Dropbox for years to come, or is the migration going to be enforced in the near future?
Thank you very much
Edit: did I completely botch posting a new thread, or was my query merged with an almost-unrelated question?
