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-...

    Hi Everybody,
     
    We’re excited to share that external drive support for Dropbox for macOS on File Provider is now available for testing as a beta feature. This is available to some users today and will be available to additional users on a rolling basis. In order to be eligible to test this feature, please follow the instructions in this Help Center article. 
     
    Keep in mind that participation in beta programs is subject to the certain terms and conditions. There are certain additional participation requirements:
    • This beta is only available to US-based users
    • You must be on macOS 15 beta
    • You must have an external drive that is APFS formatted and encrypted
     
    Please let me know if you have any further questions!

psalcal  Now it seems to be you making everything about politics and being a snowflake. Take your own goddamn medicine and stop referencing this. This is what you said, stop making everything about politics. OK, stop making everything about politics. 

 

For me, I make one single thing about politics and you have a hissy fit. Karen much? 

 

And the only reason I make it is because they did it. I won't tolerate it. I won't do business with companies like that. I was looking for an excuse to get out and then here comes this nonsense about having to put everything on the primary drive. 

 

I have two reasons why I stopped being a paying customer. I have said it clearly. Now stop bringing attention to it unless you want me to thank you for helping let everyone know what a woke piece of garbage this company really is. 

 

Actually, please just keep responding. I love that you are keeping this topic alive for me. I will keep responding every time you do. Let's make sure everybody knows the nonsense that this company engages in. 

 

Thank you for keeping this alive.
