Dropbox support for MacOS 12.3 - can we finally upgrade?
Hi, I cannot find anywhere anyone saying that Dropbox properly supports MacOS 12.3, even though it was released weeks ago and has now been superseded by 12.3.1 with zero-day fixes. I can find discus...
This sounds like a massive problem created by Apple. What Apple allows and what Apple changes no considerations for Dropbox. But Dropbox has to make it work.
Thing is OSes change all the time. Windows implements system changes too that break or alters the way things work for some apps. Apple had betas out to developers for months to help them sort through this. Major software companies like Dropbox have a duty to stay ahead of these kinds of changes, it's part of why we pay a subscription fee. Don't let them off the hook for this.
- Just had a chat with them again. It’s in Beta and that’s all they can say. No timeline. Only can say the beta is good and had no complaints. That’s it folks. That’s your answer and that’s what Dropbox thinks of its customers. No public updates, no emails to customers. Nothing. Radio silence all the way.
Well that’s me done. I’m looking at alternatives. Probably 15 years I’ve been a customer but they’ve lost me. Done with their bullsh*t.
If you’re reading this dbox_, that’s 10 business licences gone.It's a shame that any threats of leaving probably won't help at all as Dropbox has a revenue of over 2 billion a year of which the majority probably comes from Windows users. I'm curious if there's any other proper service out there with unlimited storage and have smart sync etc though. Previously the company i work for was using Google Drive which was so slow...
Also having 17.5 million paying users doesn't make it an easy task to provide a stable platform when Apple changes stuff drastically, but at least it would be nice to get some more communication of them about the issue 🙂
- There is this: https://www.sync.com/
I just had a look and the only thing I’m a bit hesitant on is the online / offline sync is still in beta.
No affiliation or anything and I just did a quick search so no idea if it’s any good.
Another one is Box.com but my experience with them is that they’re a bit slow. They do have cloud sync as I use them for clients. Google Drive I am not a huge fan. Very difficult to work with especially for a design company.
- Let me know where you go. Cloud storage simply sent up or down / auto download / opening files not downloaded. Well displayed difference between local or cloud files. Security and no snooping of my files.
That’s it. Then goodbye. Because even though I have the beta and it seems ok - it is clear Apple users are not really a concern.
