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.

Yes, I am disgusted with your lack of being ahead of this issue. You knew this was coming. You had to because you are big enough to get the lowdown from Apple. Tell me I'm wrong?
So why did you fail your customers by not getting out ahead of this issue? Answer that specifically please!
Why have you marked, or someone in the company, marked this issue is resolved? It is not resolved. It's ridiculous that you tried to hide it like this.
In my opinion, drop your box is probably the most ridiculous excuse for a company I've ever seen. I have canceled my paid account as I'm sure many others have and will in the coming days and weeks and months.
Next, I have demanded repeatedly that you answer to your Woke BS about your hiring manager who said publicly that she would hire black people just because of their color over any qualified other people. And this is a white hiring manager. The whole debacle is one of the biggest embarrassments I can imagine a company having. And still, there has been no response as to whether or not this woman has been punished, fired and what specifically has happened to right this wrong.
My family is multiple races. We all think this is a huge embarrassment. We all want a chance to be hired for any job we're looking for based on our qualifications not our skin color. We can make a difference about our qualifications. We have no choice about our skin color. Grow. Up.
Please tell us what you have done to correct this horrific wrong that was publicly espoused. Tell us what you've done to fix it so that it will never happen again in this company. Go on… Tell us.
I bet what we hear is crickets all the way around. Figures.
Shame on you for all of these huge errors in judgment.

Fantastic to see you again my friend. And thank you for keeping the conversation going.
It thrills me that so many here are interested in keeping this conversation going. And I don’t blame you. I do too. I think white drop your box has done is despicable to say the very least.
If there are more responses I will elaborate further. So hopefully we will get more responses.
Thanks again and I wish you well.- psalcal3 years agoCollaborator | Level 10
TheMainOne so glad to see you among the great class of SJW's, welcome. I'll send you the welcome packet, expect it soon.
If you think that posting on a dropbox site is going to lead to some great awakening of the masses, well.. as the kids say... you do you, my friend.- TheMainOne3 years agoCollaborator | Level 9psalcal
thank you so much for your unsolicited advice. You speak like a true SJW so I’m very happy.
Again, I really appreciate you keeping the conversation going. I don’t really have any expectations other than her and a lot of people will likely read this and that’s all I really care about.
So again, I really thank you for keeping this going. You’re doing the world a good service. And you’re showing yourself to be a good advisor to SGW’s of what you surely must be the leader.
as you well know my friend, I have two things against drop your box.
1. The incredible lack of customer service when it comes to simply keeping us notified of the issues at hand. Simple things, like telling us before we have to come screaming that everything is going to change and pretty much make the service unusable for a good percentage of us.
2. The way the company has managed to themselves in typical absurd wok fashion. And here I have made my point numerous times but thank you to Psacal the conversation continues.
The second point is a real issue. I think everybody would like to be given a chance to be hired based on their qualifications not based on their color.
The dropbox has a white manager who has stated publicly that she would prefer hiring a person of color even if they don’t have the qualifications of a white person.
This is disgusting. At least anybody with any sense of dignity personally. our family is of mixed heritage and mixed colors. all of us would prefer to be hired on our merits then because of our color.
Thanks again psalcal for your generous support of this topic. I love it that you keep the conversation going and would ask that you please continue as I can’t wait to install what has happened and even greater lengths.
