The Dropbox desktop application will no longer be supported for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on October 22nd
Congratulations Dropbox! You've just put the nail in the coffin of all W7 users who prefer not to be spied on and constantly used for data scraping!
Well done. If the constant scaremonger naggi...
Same sentiments. I used to like & use dropbox a lot, but it's finally over for me too. I'm phasing it out. Here's my issues:
- Killing Windows Server support altogether (even for latest versions, e.g., my srv 2022 which is Win10-like engine), and with no prior notice (while all that spamming about space etc. goes on).
- Client limit to only 3 devices. I suppose we should say "thanks" for keeping any old ones unaffected...
- Lack of a cheap paid plan, e.g., in the 20-30 Euro/year range, that increases/bypasses the device restriction above and/or adds functionality. (The "Extra" plan takes your Basic account up to 50 GB, which is fair [Google gives 100 GB for same cost], but all the other features are the same.)
