I noped out of Dropbox when they started requiring the installation of a kext for the macOS client to function - it signaled a lack of respect for the boundary between my system/data and theirs. This news has me feeling vindicated in that decision.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoWhat could it possibly need a kext for? I use SyncThing to sync my files and it doesn't even need to be root!
- greyface- 3y agoThe stated reason was to implement a feature called "Dropbox Infinite" that downloaded files on demand when first accessed, rather than syncing everything ahead of time.
