Dropbox removing external disk support for Mac users

iagdotme 

If by resolved you mean that they have decided to do what's right and fix this, then no it's not. It looks like they have decided to stick their thumb in all of their customers eyes. 

If by resolved you mean has the question been resolved, then technically yes. They marked it resolved. But it is far from it and numerous customers have complained that they are arbitrarily and unilaterally marking things solved that are in no way solved. 

Welcome to drop your box. They have clearly dropped their box and can't find it anything without it. I think we need to get them a clap on. That way once they've fallen and can't get up they can at least clap on the light so they can find their way out of there. 

spencerkm1 did you find out whether it's been resolved or not? I've not yet upgraded from OS 12.6 because of this.

We use the dropbox company wide in a similar manner - works flawlessly.

A shame to see Dropbox not offering a solution here.

You do. You seem to care. And that's all that matters to me. 

I am so grateful to find somebody willing to help keep the "woke" nonsense alive. 

Dropbox has a hiring manager who publicly stated that she would pass over white people to hire black people regardless of qualifications. Not that it matters, but this woman is white. 

Being that I am from a mixed family, this does not sit well with us at all. Nor with a great many others that also have issues with this. And yes I know it's true because dropbox support told me so. Unfortunately, they refused to answer me in any other way.

So thank you very much for the kind person that continues to keep this alive. I absolutely adore making sure that everyone knows of this issue.

In addition to this nonsense - we find that drop your box can't even figure out how to get this off the main drive. This can clearly be done as other companies are doing it. So it shows me that they don't really care. 

Thank you psalcal for your diligence in helping me keep this alive. I think it's only appropriate that the world understand what's really happened here. I believe my story is appropriate and should be part of this history. And I love the opportunity to keep talking about it. 

Even if psalcal and I are the only ones interested, that's good enough as somebody will stumble across this and realize what's really happening here.

Thank you again for your diligence. I really appreciate it.

psalcal  Now it seems to be you making everything about politics and being a snowflake. Take your own goddamn medicine and stop referencing this. This is what you said, stop making everything about politics. OK, stop making everything about politics. 

For me, I make one single thing about politics and you have a hissy fit. Karen much? 

And the only reason I make it is because they did it. I won't tolerate it. I won't do business with companies like that. I was looking for an excuse to get out and then here comes this nonsense about having to put everything on the primary drive. 

I have two reasons why I stopped being a paying customer. I have said it clearly. Now stop bringing attention to it unless you want me to thank you for helping let everyone know what a woke piece of garbage this company really is. 

Actually, please just keep responding. I love that you are keeping this topic alive for me. I will keep responding every time you do. Let's make sure everybody knows the nonsense that this company engages in. 

Thank you for keeping this alive.

jmeredi2 yes I think for especially heavy uploaded in downloaders, it is a dealbreaker. 

I did get an email from sync.com stating that they are turning up the speed. I'm just reporting what they said. Frankly they did not reference what the speed will be now. So they may have turned it up but only ever so slightly. 

In my opinion it is too slow for huge amounts of data. Especially if it has to be done every day or at least very often. 

I can live with this just fine. And the price for a business pro deal with them with unlimited storage is still so spectacular for me I'm shaking my head over it. It is extremely effective. But again, I don't have to upload or download terabytes all the time. 

psalcal LOL, apparently you care. If you don't, stop referring to it.

I care enough to refer to it. Because that's exactly what they did. If you don't like this, tell drop your box to knock it off. That's what I did 

Let me get one thing straight, the day of you telling me what to do will never arrive. So if you don't like what I'm saying ignore it. That was your advice to me. Kindly take your own advice. 

Woke much? 

This was the first major deciding factor for me leaving them. And I have every right to reference that. I would not have thrown anything political in anyone's face had it not been done to me. Their manager threw this in the face of all customers by publishing publicly what she said. I simply responded. I would not tolerate a company doing that to me and said so. 

That was strike one.  And whether you like it or not, I am not turning something political. They did. They rammed it down my throat and wouldn't even respond about it. I am responding here and will continue to do so as I see fit. I suspect "a word to the wise" should be sufficient, yes? I am detailing the reasons why I am no longer a paying customer for anyone who cares. If you don't, move along. I think a lot of other people do. Maybe even drop your box might care eventually.

Strike two was this nonsense about having to store everything on the primary drive. 

That was enough for me. I stopped my membership. 

I just got an email from sync.com saying they turned up the speed. Frankly, it's still too slow. And for someone that has terabytes of data, I can understand it's not a good fit. I had 2 TB that I uploaded. And yes it took too long I agree with you. However, the trade-offs are worth it for me and probably for the majority of clients here. For those that are heavy up loaders and downloaders, it may be too slow still.
