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.

I am testing out Sync now as well and it seems to work great, except for the speed. Uploading and downloading is capped at 40Mbps, which is especially slow for downloading. It still seems to be the best alternative, but I hope they will increase the speed cap in the future, since it's very slow for everyday use with large files.
jmeredi2 zI certainly understand your concern about the speed. I fear that true end to end encryption may exact a price in file mirroring. For me it’s more than worth it, because my main use case is sharing data among my own 5 different, equally used, devices, which doesn’t require lightning speed. Every few days, I may also need to share data with coworkers, which also can take place at a more leisurely pace. But my main concern is that I want everyone in my business to be able to share data while backing it up offline, WITHOUT paying thousands of dollars for offline storage. And this can only happen when my storage service allows for offline storage on external devices. Unfortunately, Apple sells internal storage at $400/terabyte, while Samsung (for example) will sell you an SSD for about $130/2 Terabytes plus the nominal cost of an enclosure. When I buy my partner an M2 Mac Mini Pro with 512GB internal SSD, I want her to be able to add 6T of storage for $400 instead of $2400!
