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.

It seems you like hijacking threads for your own personal goals. Whatever your beliefs or opinions are on the matter, this thread specifically is about the lack of ability to use external storage in the upcoming release of Dropbox.
So… for what I can see from other peoples comments let me lay this down nice and easy for you. Do your SJW work somewhere else. This thread is not the right place. Whether anybody agrees or disagrees with you is entirely up to them. Most of us live in countries that give us the freedom to have and give our opinions without fear of repercussions.
So me being nice and polite, take your message elsewhere and let those who use this thread for the title of the thread continue onwards without having to read your SJW comments and deal with your personal activism on against the company for something that has nothing to do with you. If this offends you, then sorry snowflake but maybe you should crawl in to your feather laden soft bubble where there’s no sharp edges and people speak softly at you whilst spooning you your food and wiping your ar*e with the softest toilet paper in the world.

Hi UKD
Far from it actually. I guess maybe you need to look back over this thread and see all of my contributions to the exact issue you mention. Forcing us to use our primary drive. That has been my focus. And if you look at the writings I have just posted, you will see my full intention.
One thing I personally appreciate is when people write professionally and communicate in such a way that is not offensive. I have done my best to do this and will continue. I won't call you names and I won't try to belittle you.
So you know, I have three main issues.
1. Forcing us to use our primary drive to use dropbox. That has been what most of my writing has been about.
2. A policy of insubordination to their customers. This includes not responding to issues of fairness.
3. Issues of privacy.
I have and will continue to write on all of these issues.
Writing to me the way you did will simply cause me to be more vocal in my expression of what I think is correct. So please, let's keep the party going. And I'm grateful for your help.
