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 was told by a Dropbox support rep that there was no workaround. He did not give me an option to use the old API. FYI.
gfawcett777 I’m so sorry your experience has been so lousy. I am hoping that a Dropboxer will want to record your experience if they haven;t already. I know that at least a number of their engineers are truly concerned that everyone be able to manage their DropBox as she or he prefers.
Drop your box is beyond ridiculous now. I canceled my account and the only maintain the free version which I don't use.
There is no reason to continue with them really. Even big users needing lots of speed and space are getting hosed with all of this nonsense. It's better to make a jump now than ultimately get wiped out when quickly they force us to use the main hard drive.
Their engineers have showed themselves to be inept and useless. The company leads no one anywhere. Their woke BS has truly tanked the company.
And regardless of what anyone believes about their woke BS, we can certainly see that they hoodwinked their customers by not even communicating with us about this until they were basically caught red-handed. Even then, they have been less than forthcoming and tried to make this go away by listing it as having been solved.
Hear me drop your box… This. Is. Not. Solved. Not till you get off your asses and solve it.
There is one clear answer. If other companies can resolve this, drop your box can. They simply don't want to or they are completely inapt and in capable. I basically feel that it is the last.
(by the way, I would love to have someone challenge me on the woke BS issue so that I can continue that part of the discussion indefinitely. Opportunity? Or warning? You decide. But if you respond I will continue to point out what I think is probably the biggest failure of this company. Like they say, "get woke, go broke").
