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 is still a lot of productive work being done on PowerPC Mac computers. These computers cannot upgrade past Mac OS X 10.5.x because that is the last revision that supports the PowerPC processor. While I can understand why you don't want to include support for these old computers in new versions of Dropbox, please do not turn off the old apps. Let them run in a sort of legacy mode. Syncing files and offering links.
I totally agree!
PLEASE RETHINK STOPPING SUPPORT FOR MAC PPC !!!!!Same here, I am a premium user and the PowerPC community is large.
Please DropBox….please reconsider.@Grant Hutchinson: thanks for the links!

I too have a couple of perfectly working vintage Macs… I am already searching for an alternative to Dropbox. And the thing doesn't make me happy at all.
So please rethink this decision! Thanks
Not sure why dropbox need to do this? Is it an architecture problem - i.e not having Intel chips?
The main discussion thread for this topic is here:
Also, a petition has been created in protest of Dropbox’s decision.

@Nicola You’re very welcome. Here’s hoping we can sway their decision a bit.
