macOS 10.12 compatibility ended.
Hi, I received an email saying that in June 2023 Dropbox will end its support for macOS 10.12.
My question is: - Will syncing folders between my device and dropbox stop working? Thanks in adv...

Yes. When support for macOS 10.12 ends, the Dropbox application will no longer be able to connect to the Dropbox service.

I don't understand one thing. DropBox on OSX 10.12 was working fine until they decided to switch it off. Would it cost too much to keep running something that has already been built?
What can be done to get Dropbox to restore Sierra (OS 10) compatibility? It worked so well before. This makes no sense.
I would think Dropbox would want to keep its customer base and our continued subscription would be a fundamental goal.
- So cross. Perfectly good laptop annoyingly tied in with several businesses on Dropbox that I’ll have to replace because of this!!
Hightail is a VERY good replacement. I'm not sure WHY we wouldn't be able to "connect to their servers", its an IP protocol and port number. I like how they say to just upgrade to the latest versions. Some of us still have computers that WON'T support above 10.12. I'm not spending a couple grand to buy a whole new system when this one works flawlessly. Ain't broke, don't fix it. Sorry DropBox, sooo long.
Tell me more about Hightail. I need to find an alternative to Dropbox if it will no longer serve its customer base.
I need to stick with OS 10 to run (very very very expensive) legacy software and I need to sync across Mac and Windows 7.
I already lost many files when they stopped their support for Sierra in their previous "F' u" when work I thought was syncing was not.
