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...
Did you try it? If so, what do you feel is the downside here?
Cheers
I've had to downgrade my Dropbox from the Beta because apparently it was stuck. So just gotta keep waiting for them to sort their sh*t out I guess.
That doing Dropbox sync via Synology is a super long winded way of doing it. Not that it's wrong but more the fact as to why the hell should you have to do that.
I already sync my Dropbox with a Synology NAS so I have a local backup but I don't want all my team to either VPN in to the NAS or do something like that with the Synology app.
Everything about this change is so disappointing. From the lack of communication with us, the paying customer, the lack of detail of what's happening too. Surely somebody must've looked at who their customers are and gone, hey, you know, this is quite a big change, maybe we should speak to the industry and see what they say. It seems the level of arrogance is astounding.
fjazzfjazz a month? More like it took them well over 6 months to address that there was going to be a change, and then 6 months to say that the change is delayed, to then say it's coming late November, to then radio silence until this year, saying February if I'm not mistaken and now nothing, except for what people like us have extracted from them, to say if I'm not wrong, May now. I'm pretty sure if you looked up how many press releases / announcements they've made about this "upgrade" I think you'll find there's a total of 3, maybe 4 tops.
The whole thing has been a debacle, yet they keep on pumping out those crappy new features that nobody asked for. If they took the resources they used doing that and put it in to updating their core software then maybe, just maybe, we'd all be happier than we currently are.
Got it, thanks. Makes sense. Maybe arrogance could also be "not having their **bleep** together". But either way. Yeah, it's been almost a month and not having an official statement with something specific from dropbox is a super concern, as this is a deal breaker for many of their users.
