End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

There's going to be a lot of customers impacted by the IMPLEMENTATION METHOD of this decision. Stop supporting older versions of the Dropbox application, and their specific OS, if necessary. But having the application stop working is just impacting customers/installations of Dropbox that is needless.

I'd be perfectly okay with the decision if only it meant I'd never see another update on those systems. Are you trying to tell us there are known, but unfixed, security issues and you don't want us running this code?

"Killing" an application like this is a pretty darn serious act.
