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.

Not trying to change minds, but trying to raise awareness? How is that working for you so far? I wonder how successful it might be to use dropbox forums to make a political point?
Any good social justice warrior is able to tell when they’re making a difference or not. Not so sure you’re doing a whole lotta good here friend.

Yes, trying to raise awareness. And it's working fantastic. Look, because of your help, we have more people participating. Whether they agree or not, the point is being made and for that I am thankful for your help
So let me clarify again for you and all those reading.
I jumped on this bandwagon when I realized that the service that I was paying for was going to be eliminated and that I had to do something. My primary Drive is not big enough to handle my dropbox materials. I felt the way the company handled this was really bad. And I wanted to call a lot of attention to it. And it looks like that is working well. Not just because of me by any means, thanks also to you and all the others that are contributing.
And my way of seeing things, there are a number of ways that a company can go wrong. And this company seems to have chosen numerous of them. Again, I'm talking only about my way of seeing things. Do you know the old saying, "get woke, go broke". And while I'm not sure that they are close to going broke, I do think they are bleeding pretty badly from a number of the mistakes they have made.
Personally, I would love to see them correct these mistakes. I would love to see them find an answer to the issue regarding having to use our primary Drive. And I would love to be a customer again and feel safe that they are actually taking care of their customers, of which I was one.
There is another issue that I'd like to bring up as well. Since I have switched to Sync.com I have found myself feeling better about privacy. As you know, dropbox has not been leading the pack on this issue either. They openly state that nothing is private and they have access to everything. That does not give me warm fuzzies at night. Maybe it does you, I'm not sure. (Nor do I really care about any one person.)
By the way, let me expound for a moment on my use of the term "drop your box". I'd rather laugh at all of these issues then anything else. At least laughing raises my spirits. It seems to be a good way of dealing with difficulties. And to me it was really a difficulty to move our company away from dropbox. To me the term "drop your box" expresses exactly what this company has done. They have dropped a number of critical issues, critical to me I should state. As such, I am making sure the world continues to know the way I feel about it. I'm not screaming for a manager or any of the other things you have declared yourself to be an expert on that you referred to as "SJW". I'm simply raising awareness of what this company has done so that people have every possible reason to move elsewhere.
So there are numerous issues that all hinge around this company's policies that I will continue to discuss.
Thank you for joining in on this with me. Your support is most appreciated. Another thing I really appreciate is your professionalism, at least for the most part. Thank you for doing your best.
