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 ...

The only file you really want is the Dropbox.app.zip file.
Here is a direct link:

If you have come here looking for the modified client, remember that what you are trying to download was modified by a third-party and is not supported by Dropbox. Be careful of what you download.]
All the other files are being simply provided as a courtesy to anyone who knows how and wants to mess around with the code. The actual file I name above has been modified with those files already.
It tricks Dropbox into thinking you are using Snow Leopard.
Please do note that no one using Tiger has gotten it to run yet. The APIs in Leopard are still close enough to those in Snow Leopard that it works in Leopard however.
Finally, if you get an issue where Dropbox is 'updating' but nothing is happening, quit Dropbox then reopen it.
