I'm not going to stop using Dropbox-I've been paying the company $138 a year for 2TB of storage and for 12 months' worth of file history, which saves all deleted files and revisions to files. This isn't a huge deal, as I can quit Dropbox's new file browser and get rid of that Dock icon each time my computer starts up. If my computer restarts or if Dropbox restarts, the new Dropbox window that I don't want pops up in the Dock:

If you're not familiar with Macs, the Dock is the line of applications on the bottom of the screen (or the side, if you've moved it in the settings) and serves the same function as the Windows Taskbar.
To summarize, the problem is this: Dropbox now opens a new file browser and an associated Dock icon every time it starts, even if you don't want it to. I don't blame the individual support reps-Dropbox the company needs to make sure its employees are prepared to answer user questions, especially in advance of major changes that will inevitably lead to a rise in user complaints.

But when Dropbox rolled out a major change to its Mac application, it had support reps replying to Mac users without knowing what they were talking about. As a result, Dropbox's users have to explain to Dropbox employees how Dropbox's application works on the Mac.Īs a division of labor, it probably makes sense for some support reps to specialize in Dropbox for Windows, or Dropbox for Mac, or Dropbox for mobile devices, etc. Instead, I learned something both frustrating and fascinating: there are numerous Dropbox support employees who apparently have never used their company's Mac application and do not understand how it works.
