I don’t fucking know why I can’t eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don’t know who’s lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

    By default Windows disables file caching on external USB drives. It should be writing those files directly. That doesn’t prevent a program from locking a file or folder that it is using though.
