Hey eduardbekker, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today.
I do understand where you're coming from and we really appreciate your feedback here.
Unfortunately, as of June 2023, the Dropbox desktop app will no longer work on any Mac device running macOS 10.12 or older.
You can take a look at this article for more info on what you can do about this.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Dropbox StaffHI eduardbekker, this change only affects Mac OS 10.12 Sierra, so 10.13 High Sierra will continue to function after that date.
I feel also very sad about this decision...
My Imac from 2011 is still working nicely , so you are responsible for a planned obsolescence !
I really liked Dropbox and used it everyday for years and was happy to pay for it.
This is a huge disappointement.

Hi Mathildea, thanks for the feedback. We regularly release new versions of the Dropbox desktop app with additional features, better performance, and security enhancements, and these are not always compatible with older systems.
Apple stopped providing security updates to macOS 10.12 in 2019. Due to this, we are ending our support of the Dropbox desktop app for these operating systems to keep our product offerings in-line.Thank you but I won't use dropbox online, it's useless.
If Apple is doing planned obsolescence, please, be smarter and try to support your program for our still working computers.
