And now they are forcing other devs to do the same. Don’t want to pay through the nose? Well, Apple provides the feature of “automatically optimizing your hard disk space” -which we all know it’s not exactly predictable. On a purely speculative basis, I agree with I think that Apple never bothered to allow external iCloud storage in order to sell more expensive internal storage. This is the restriction I was mentioning, it seems that the newer system-level frameworks provided by Apple do not support external storage. If they are now requiring the same of Dropbox that seems to reinforce my theory. I also backup the Dropbox Folder (and new Gdrive folder) with Carbon Copy Capture and appears to work fine.
Nothing in the above FAQ that I see mentions TimeMachine backups/restores won’t work anymore. I’ve done some testing with restore with TimeMachine and don’t notice any problems–does not mean of course there are not any problems. Check this for yourself by looking at the Dropbox folder in a Terminal. I’ve set all the folders to be “offline”, they all appear as accessible files in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/.Ī “package” is simply a macOS Finder thing about how to display folders and files that do exist but are displayed in the Finder app as a “file”. I can’t find a reference link for that understanding, so take it with a grain of salt. My understanding is that Dropbox changing, as are other Cloud sync services (Google Gdrive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc), to conform to Apple’s instructions/standard/wish/?.
