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.

Smirker I'd be interested to know what they did because Dropbox doesn't make an actual app for Synology. They do however run a cloud sync on the NAS whereby you can sync your dropbox files to the synology NAS. I do that as a permanent localised backup of my files so you could technically do that. Not sure how people can connect in when not on the local network. I'd have to figure that out.
Just to add it gets more complicated when you have much larger files. My Dropbox was nearly 50TB at one stage!
UKD You have to make your NAS connectable on the Internet to do this. You can give your co-workers user accounts that have no administrative privileges and prescribe extremely fine-tuned abilities, e.g. the ability to download and upload files of a certain type to your DropBox connection, and that’s it. I believe you can also render each user only able to log in using two-step authentication, but of course the more users you possess, the more likelihood there might be of spear-phishing attacks. Personally I might use my NAS as a DropBox connection, but only me. I would not trust others outside my LAN with such privileges, but that’s because I’ve seen even my wife fall prey to phishing attacks that I was able to fight off only because the phisher was rather dumb.
