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.

UKD one thing I am curious about Sync.com
With Dropbox, all my producers and clients have it also. They generate media assets and specific software that read those assets, and they share it with my Dropbox. So we can work from the same software, referencing media assets, locally.
Can Sync.com do this? I mean, do all my clients and producers also need to have Sync.com if we want all parties to work on software that reference media assets locally?
Thanks
fjazzfjazz UKD I’m going out in a limb here because I rarely use Dropbox for file sharing or collaboration, and don’t think that’s going to change if I migrate. But from what I see in the “getting started” instructions, your collaborators will need to use Sync as well, and — while it’s conceivable that two different storage providers could create a joint-use framework — I don’t see much incentive for this to happen in the real world. For one thing, the engineers at Sync have created a true “Trust No One” environment, with real end-to-end encryption that only YOU have the keys to unlock. At Dropbox, the company’s engineers have keys as well, and I won;t go any further down that rabbit-hole. So you’re going to need to keep at least a minimum paid Dropbox account unless you can persuade all your coworkers to switch.
Very helpful, thanks ArthurPix ArthurPix
