I recently upgraded to 1 TB of space on dropbox. My Mac hard drive, however, is only 500 GB. In order to fully utilize this upgrade, I would like to change the default location of my dropbox folder to a 4 TB external drive. I found out that this is done through the dropbox app under preferences.

I have not done this myself, but I'm pretty sure that you can press your VoiceOver plus him twice quickly, find the dropbox option, excess preferences, and change it there. Last time I looked it was a standard web view, and you can make changes in there. Could be wrong though. Sent from my iPho

I have used my dropbox on an external drive for over a year and while there have been frustrations, it is certainly doable. The most important thing I have found is that you have to remember to quit dropbox prior to disconnecting the external drive. Similarly, the external drive should be connec

It may be an issue with your screen reader video driver. To get it to work you will need tl either wait for the update to roll to you or manually uninstall the video driver and then run upgrade assisrNt. I don't think it has anything to do with VMware fusion. Noel > On Aug 2, 2016, at 4:41 P

Hello David, Thank you for your prompt reply. To be honest, I was hoping for something a little less robust than Numbers. I just need to send 1 or 2 invoices a month. By the way, are you using Numbers on the Mac? Or Numbers in iOS. I'll definitely take a look at numbers but, from what I
