Dropbox has been clear, they don't want / respect linux users. So, bye Dropbox. FWIW, I still had an account, which I unsubscribed from with the above reasoning. They don't care, I don't care.
Two answers to this: 1) some people want the challenge of working around the problem there by either forcing Dropbox to accept other files systems with the workaround (if it isn't a "hack"), OR creating further filtering on their part to disable the hack. If they do the latter, it will be clear they are preferring ext4 for some unknown/unpublished reason that they refuse to state due to contractual guidelines in some contract that in some way makes money for them by only using ext4.
I don't use it, but there are people out there that 'have' to use it. And of those a good number are affected but can make do with this "trick".
For what it's worth, they also only support one of Windows filesystems of the few in existence.
There's more than one that support Extended Attrs? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
