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 ...
I agree with Michal M, amongs other tasks we use three G4 machines as part of our network for scientific work supporting ionospheric research. Software developed for these machines cannot be transported. Moving data in and out via Dropbox is highly effective with dispersed sources of data. Updating the operating system is impossible and replacing the machines is out of the question. A point that has not been made is that we have attracted other users to set up Dropbox clients for this purpose and they have found other uses for their accounts. The big attraction of Drobox is that this multiplatform application efficiently connects disparate machines in a way that others do not. Take away PPC support and a signifcant differential to other apps disppears.
