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 ...
Knock knock . Anybody home
Sooooo is anybody at dropbox gonna tell us why they are ruining our lives. I've been a paying customer for a long time
I can not up grade above Mac Os 10.4.11 I work in Protools and it would cost me $16,000 in hardware and software to upgrade. Why can't dropbox leave a version of dropbox for older os . If Dropbox abandons os 10.4 users . We have to abandon dropbox. We have no choice. And I'm a paying client
We need to demonstrate that there is still a significant PowerPC (PPC) user base out there which uses Dropbox Desktop Client. Just because it's old doesn't mean it should go away. We still use AFP and PostScript, don't we? I still use Timbuktu (originally developed by WOS Datasystems/Farallon/Netopia...) for remote control. A portion of a company's income should go toward supporting legacy hardware and software. Being backwardly compatible and cross platform should be an ideal, not a burden. I have Dropbox syncing nicely on my new Synology DS 1513+ NAS. For Dropbox to decommission Dropbox Desktop Client for Mac OS X 10.5.8 messes up my workflow and backup strategy.
I am curious as to which Open Source and Third-Party components are causing Dropbox to drop legacy PPC support and functionality for Dropbox Desktop Client. See http://bit.ly/DropboxDesktopClientforMacandLinuxOSThird‐PartySoftwareNotices
