Re: Dropbox removing external disk support for Mac users
I continue to get more and more surprised about Dropbox.. allowing us to talk freely about competitors here is crazy, especially without addressing their long term plans for this. This message board seems just crazy dysfunctional. I wonder how many people are ready to pull the trigger on Sync in a moment? I'm one. I have a Sync.com account but it's the free version. I may move there depending on Dropbox. Your move Dropbox... but don't take too long.

Hey there's my friend. Yes, I would sure agree with you that dropbox seems dysfunctional. But that would be my opinion of them overall. This is simply their latest manifestation of it.
From what I have heard, sync.com is benefiting from this snafu significantly. Although I haven't heard any numbers. So one would have to guess what significantly means.
Our company sure did go there and I have been thrilled. We pay $30 a month for two people in total. This gives us unlimited storage. It is slower than dropbox but I am doing just fine with it. Takes a little bit of getting used to but if a person doesn't have a huge number of terabytes, it could work out pretty well for them.
I'm glad to see you considering this. And hope all is well for you.
- TheMainOne I am curious when you say slower, what is slower?
I am looking at archiving a huge amount of our files on to my NAS and the rest of the files we use to stay on cloud. Speed. Uptime and accessibility are our main goals and my team are spread in Europe and Asia.
My video guys have some hefty file sizes so the speed is quite important. - Sync caps the speed at 40 Mbps.
