Dropbox removing external disk support for Mac users

psalcal Glad to see you liked my "woke" reference. And yes, really. I can't stand woke anything. Well let me put it differently, I really don't like to get involved with political or even quasi-political anything. But having "woke" thrown in my face is more than I can take. It's like a "Karen", bitching at me. I won't take that either. 

Dropbox has a white manager that has publicly come out and said that she will overlook white people in favor of hiring black people just because of their color. Coming from a mixed family as I do, none of us, of either color, want to be treated that way. We just want to be treated fairly. That's all any of us want. And I believe that's true for most people. Yes, some people just have their hand out. But most just want to be treated fair… to have a fair chance. 

I wrote repeatedly to this filthy company asking them if they support this kind of behavior. Nobody would answer me. Finally I demanded that they answer and tell me what corrective actions have been taken to be sure that everybody gets a fair chance. I could hear crickets once again. Not one single responsive answer. 

Anyway, sync.com has more than met our needs. It is a bit slower that's for sure. But just a couple of days ago they sped up their service. They are listening. In addition two of us from the same company purchased a pro plan from sync.com for a total of about $30 a month. And that gives us unlimited space. Yes, you read that right… Unlimited space. 

Not only that, but sync.com is genuinely private. They can't look at what you put up. It is fully encoded. This is something that is far from the "woke BS" that drop your box practices. Drop your box has terms of service that openly and clearly stated that they will do whatever they want with your contact including read it, give it to anyone else they want to or do anything they want with it. It is disgusting. 

Drop your box, dropped their game when they decided to go woke and throw it in all of our faces. They dropped their game when they decided to sell out our privacy. And they dropped their game even worse when they bend over to what Apple says and just leave their clients high and dry. Putting all of my data on my primary drive is a 100% no go. And I know that this is true for many, many other companies and people. 

But one thing is for sure, when one door closes, another opens. Drop your box has proven that they are not deserving of our money. I have gone to a free account and no longer pay them. Same with numerous others that I know and some even from within our own company. 

Let's say you were a content creator and had 10 or 12 TB of data you'd like to have backed up. Good luck finding a primary hard drive especially an SSD that would do that. This is a non-starter on its face. Ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. Yes, not everybody has that much data. But a lot of us do. And even 2 or 3 TB is more than I want on my primary hard drive.

Well for the majority of us, the next-door has opened. A competitor has stepped up to fill the gap and is doing so, wonderfully.
