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 do appreciate leveraging purchasing power to influence corporate good governance. I’d also suggest if you want to make positive change, it starts with dialogue that invites participation rather than alienates through condemnation.
That said …
Can we just keep this topic focused on what it’s supposed to be about and not flood it with completely unrelated info.
It’s not cool to hijack a thread. Bad form all the way around. It’s very disrespectful to the people here who are looking for specific technical answers. We don’t want to wade through unrelated info, thanks.
Please and thank you!

I could not agree more with this. Thank you for your voice on this issue as well. Good governance is what I think is correct.
To set the story straight, I have from the beginning then my level best to ask, seemingly dozens of times for answers. To this day I have not got them. On any of the issues that I'm concerned with. I have not condemned in the beginning. I asked and asked and asked some more. But never was any acceptable answer forthcoming. In fact, for the most part they have shunned all of us.
I am concerned with their "good governance" of three primary issues.
1. Answers regarding why they were not out in front of the issue requiring us to use our primary drive. Why do we have to hear about this indirectly? Why weren't they forthcoming in getting ahead of the issue and notifying all of their clients? What specifically is being done about this? We don't have any good answers on any of this. And I can only assume based on what you wrote that you don't like it either.
2. I don't think it is "good governance" to treat people in a racist manner. And I will continue to let people know about this issue. And I will do my best to make sure that I'm talking about number one above more than anything.
3. I believe that privacy is also an important issue. One of "good governance" in the way our data is being handled. All of these together equal that the company to me is not exercising "good governance". I think you hit it right on the head with the use of this term.
Thank you for participating and helping to keep all of this alive. In general, I agree with you overall. I'm writing because all together, these three issues concern me. For those that don't agree with the other issues I have, ignore them.
I believe calling a spade a spade is correct. I realize we won't all agree. That's fine with me. Nor do I intend to change minds. I intend to raise awareness. I think a lot of people think like we do. Even if we don't agree on all things we can agree on a bunch of them. And even if it's just one thing then our voices together are making a difference in my opinion.
Thank you for weighing in on this. I think we need more voices. Personally, I'd really like to get some answers that are real answers to these issues.
