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 ...
Dear Dropbox Staff,
Thank you for your support of the PowerPC architecture.
If there is a way to maintain a special version for PowerPC Macs with just security patches and that 64bit name length thing that was mentioned in your response, that would be fantastic. We don't need all the new features. Just the bare essentials.
As has been mentioned by others, I too would be willing to pay a reasonable price to keep support going for my iMac G4.
Please give it some serious consideration. If you still decide to abandon PowerPC Macs, I understand. It's been a great decade since Apple discontinued them, in part thanks to your continued support :)
I have no doubt that for every response you are getting here, there are many more users that don't know where to go or what to say to try to help this cause.
Thanks,
Justin
P.S. An old version of Spotify from ~3 years ago is still able to run on PowerPC(10.5), just minus the new features... food for thought.
