    You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels. 

     

    I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

To me this seems the story of the company that fired the most capable (and expensive) developers to save fixed expenses and now they've discovered that some real work cannot be done with interns, and they aren't able to find developers capable of doing what needs to be do (you can see they are looking for a lot of seniors developers).

 

Said that, currently I've removed all Dropbox from my Macs and I'm using it from web only. My main use of Dropbox is maintain about 600 GB of PDF related to literature, technology and science as indexed stuff from DEVONthink. I've moved all of that into internal DEVONthink databases. The only handicap is I need a Mac to do fast queries (I used Dropbox internal search for that from Windows when I was in Windows). 

 

If they solve this problem before my current year payment ends, I will go back. If not, well, goodbye forever, Dropbox. And the solution to this is use my Synology NAS as a cloud provider. WebDAV could be enough to me.

GlassDoor employee comments….

A lot of senior executives have left DBX over the past 12 months.

Confused management… Advice to Management… Find clarity and direction, particularly in the B2B market - if you're not willing to invest towards making it work then rip the bandaid and pull out.

BAD Management… HR just say nice things and refuse to believe there are serious issues in the company.
