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.

You are absolutely correct, beenyweenies and the only thing I donât understand is how you auto-backup to your cloud provider. Is this automated or do you do it manually? If the former, do you do it from your Synology Drive? How exactly?

ArthurPix It's downright hilarious, @beenyweenies. You've been at it for a year, still scratching your head over auto-backups to the cloud, and then have the audacity to critique my setup as if it's not up to par? That's rich! Your inability to navigate what should be a straightforward process, and then turning around to question my (most straightforward and logical) way of doing things? That's comedy gold. Maybe focus on getting your own house in order before casting doubts on others. It's like the blind leading the blind, only you're alone in the dark, buddy. Hahahaha.
