Hey MWoodsMusic, thanks for joining the discussion here.
I'm afraid that there's no other option apart from upgrading your computer's OS to a supported desktop environment.
in addition, you should be able to access your Dropbox account and files normally through a web browser.
I wish I had a better answer than this, Mike.

It won't affect your Dell at all. Windows 10 is still fully supported.

Will Dropbox no longer support MacOS 10.12.6 as well? Or just 10.12?
Thanks

Hi rebnj, I hope you're doing well, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
As of June 27th 2023, the Dropbox desktop app will no longer work on any Mac device running macOS 10.12 or older.
Please note that your data in Dropbox is safe, but you will not be able to access it through the Dropbox desktop app unless you update to a supported operating system.I hope this clarifies!

So what does this actually mean for us business clients who pay you a monthly fee and have been doing so for years?
I don't use the app, I have files synced in Finder. Are you telling me I can no longer drop a file into the folder in Finder to sync something?
"Just upgrade your operating system." This is not an actual solution. We use 10.12 because business specific programs can not run on OSs higher than that. My machine works perfectly fine in all regards but because Dropbox has made this stupid decision to cancel support we are going to be stuck. Your solution is for paid clients to shell out $1000s of dollars every few years to buy new Macs when there is nothing wrong with the older ones, which will screw up currently working programs and workflows, just to keep using your app!? Are you serious?
