No longer relevant, since we won't get macs with Alder Lake.

 Sorry to see Dropbox lacking this basic support.  Dropbox storage has always been so much better than Microsoft’s still terrible OneDrive which I am now forced to use with my work.  

  Not sure why these companies struggle with such basic functionality.  

It's probably a simple commercial decision, Mac users are probably not a significant percentage of their users, and of those, probably an even smaller amount is on 12.x, especially if they work for a commercial company.

And?  All you're saying is that this iMac won't be for you then.

Many will buy it.  My fully-loaded 2020 10-core i9 iMac costed more than this and am quite happy with it.  It's a tool that does the job for me, and years down the road when it's time to retire it I will once again buy whatever top iMac (pro) Apple sells.

True. But the iMac Pro was horribly priced for old tech. I used to buy Mac Pro's until I saw what I was missing out on. I paid 4K for a beefed up hackintosh that runs circles around the iMac Pro and has tons of extra storage and connectivity. Granted, I don't get the 5k display, but instead I bought two 4k's. The M1 macs charge a ridiculous amount for storage, and only the top-end storage options are actually fast. I have a Mac Mini M1 and it's great for what it is, but feels very limited at the same time. I can't wait for a Mac Pro or Mac Mini Pro with better connectivity.

Why would you leave Apple for a meta though…money isn't everything.

They have many interesting technical challenges. I wouldn't want to work for them but I think people like this can choose what they work on. Looks like he is going to work on their AR efforts, pretty cool.

Absolutely not going to pay 6K for this.
