    A bit torn. Sounds like it might be cute. But also sounds like it could be creepy beyond all reason. You know,, depending on the circumstances. 
    I vote for "creepy".
    ... and in the wrong hands could this be hugely dangerous ...?
    Is this the brave new world of data scraping and soon AI / AR that has become Apple ...?

    Why is Apple doing this? Security? With many people thinking of buying minimal internal storage, and using external storage for most things, this will not work. Even I bought minimal internal storage, to find out thinks like Audiobooks will not work from external storage. Really??? Those Audiobooks take up a good amount of space. 

    Can’t some automation help in the Dropbox situation?
    Probably because Dropbox competes with iCloud and external drives compete with Apple’s up charge for larger internal drives.
    Well, that would clearly be anti-competitive and anti-trust so you had better be able to prove that in a court of law. Can you? Or is it just your knee-jerk reaction to anything Apple does?

    Every 'upgrade' has me asking about possible quid pro quo and data scraping now - trust Apple - are you kidding...?
    Maybe as a shareholder but as a customer...? Is Apple's MO to simply keep tightening the financial screws on customers ?  
    Embrace extend extinguish ?  Should that be applied to Apple management ?

    "There has always been a narrow computing power range in that small block"

    Was the i7 2018 mini (12 effective cores) paired with an eGPU & 64GB ram less than 'narrow'...?

    My favourite for design configuration was the 2011 i7 mini with dual drive bays, discrete GPU and slotted ram...
