Perhaps this is being overblown. If Dropbox and Microsoft are correct, most business users won’t need to worry too much, as they can continue to download items directly to their Mac to continue to work, and updates should ship relatively fast. What’s curious about this, of course, is that the warning from both online storage providers comes as iCloud users experience multiple errors in that service.This rather suggests Apple is changing something fundamental here, while the secrecy around the operation is bound to create consternation. The issue may relate to mandatory use of the FileProvider framework by services, which Box already supports and Microsoft recently migrated to with OneDrive. This should make for a more Mac-like user experience for online storage apps of this kind, but it seems plausible to anticipate some other changes.Īpple developers can watch the WWDC 2021 video detailing the FileProvider framework.
