That means M1 Mac owners must use Dropbox with Rosetta, and reports suggest the client hemorrhages MacBook battery life and uses a disproportionate amount of memory on Apple silicon Macs.
And when it does lurch into action, syncing with Dropbox's servers can sometimes be painfully slow, for no obvious reason.Īdded to this is the fact that almost a year after the first Macs with the M1 chip became available, Dropbox still doesn't natively support Apple silicon, and won't until sometime in 2022. The client is often called out for using significant system resources, even when it's not doing anything in the background. Which in the grand scheme is not very many.The Dropbox app has a troubled reputation among Mac users. The folder that was shared was no bigger than 40-50GB. TL:DR We had time a sensitive delivery and dropbox banned our account from sharing anything at all for 24 hours.Įdit: We have Business Advanced plan, which is 3TB. If anyone has better alternatives that don't have hidden limitations like this, please, let me know. There are so many issues with this service that I have no clue how they are successful at all. Why people use still Dropbox is beyond me. So my solution was to use Google Drive instead. It's so counter-intuitive, and completely defeats the purpose of spending money on more storage space and bandwidth. I shouldn't have to explain why this is a huge problem. Sharing just stopped working and only after a few searches and research did I find the cause.
We were given no warning, no notification, nothing. It turns out that if you give a link to a client, and they share it with a certain number of people, Dropbox will BAN YOU FROM SHARING ANYTHING. Turns out that I can't create a sharable link for ANYTHING. I rename some folders and move stuff around. Fast-forward that night, the client states the link is broken. Meanwhile the Raw photos are uploading for them to have as well. Note that: I didn't invite them because invitations as a whole are pretty pointless because it only gives 1 person access.
I uploaded the photos, and the videos, and gave a sharable link to the client. The next day I edited over 1,000 photos, as well as a few hours of boring seminar videos, but I digress. The client flew us out to Dallas all the way from Jacksonville. This might be an unpopular opinion, it might be popular, but people still use their service.
