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...
I'm happy to keep applying pressure to get this fixed. Dropbox is a big part of our creative business and we pay a lot of $ every month for it. Not it is pretty much rendered useless.

"We understand that you want an update on this issue as soon as possible, and our engineering team is working to get the external drive support reinstated. We are sorry that we don't have any updates for you at this time, as we know this can be frustrating. We have shared your responses with the team, and we will get back to you as soon as we've an update."
Hehehe. Could be fixed tomorrow. Or in a month. Or in a year. Or in five years. Who knows 🙂 This is what you get with 'Agile Development' these days.
Yes, I am disgusted with your lack of being ahead of this issue. You knew this was coming. You had to because you are big enough to get the lowdown from Apple. Tell me I'm wrong?
So why did you fail your customers by not getting out ahead of this issue? Answer that specifically please!
Why have you marked, or someone in the company, marked this issue is resolved? It is not resolved. It's ridiculous that you tried to hide it like this.
In my opinion, drop your box is probably the most ridiculous excuse for a company I've ever seen. I have canceled my paid account as I'm sure many others have and will in the coming days and weeks and months.
Next, I have demanded repeatedly that you answer to your Woke BS about your hiring manager who said publicly that she would hire black people just because of their color over any qualified other people. And this is a white hiring manager. The whole debacle is one of the biggest embarrassments I can imagine a company having. And still, there has been no response as to whether or not this woman has been punished, fired and what specifically has happened to right this wrong.
My family is multiple races. We all think this is a huge embarrassment. We all want a chance to be hired for any job we're looking for based on our qualifications not our skin color. We can make a difference about our qualifications. We have no choice about our skin color. Grow. Up.Please tell us what you have done to correct this horrific wrong that was publicly espoused. Tell us what you've done to fix it so that it will never happen again in this company. Go on… Tell us.
I bet what we hear is crickets all the way around. Figures.
Shame on you for all of these huge errors in judgment.
TheMainOne I’ve been one of the loudest complainers about this issue, but this thread has nothing to do with the merits of affirmative action or lack thereof. Please express your grievances in an appropriate place, which is NOT THIS THREAD. Good luck with your evangelism elsewhere.
- Hi ArthurPix
When I want your advice, I will be sure to ask you directly for it. In the meantime, I will feel free to come in whenever and wherever I like.
However, since we both seem to be handing out free advice, let me suggest that This problem that we both seem to now be talking about, which is great, is symptomatic of the bigger problem. They are acting irresponsibly. If they were not, things would be much better. I think we could both agree to that.
So I will feel free to take my own advice and not offer more advice to you. Hopefully you will do the same and we will get along fine. Otherwise, every time you respond to this, I will too like I said in my post. at least you were warned.
I don’t consider this evangelism as I am not talking about religion. I am talking about a serious problem of drop your box being irresponsible.
Thanks again for continuing the conversation. In one way, I do hope you continue as I would love to continue to bring attention to the masses of the reality of what this company has done.
I was a paying client. For many years. I brought numerous people to this company. In retrospect I feel like I owe them an apology.
Wishing you all the best.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're a real SJW TheMainOne Good luck with your evangelism.. 😉

Fantastic to see you again my friend. And thank you for keeping the conversation going.
It thrills me that so many here are interested in keeping this conversation going. And I don’t blame you. I do too. I think white drop your box has done is despicable to say the very least.
If there are more responses I will elaborate further. So hopefully we will get more responses.
Thanks again and I wish you well.
