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 ...

Anyone still interested in finding a Dropbox alternative still working on ppc: I have found this SpiderOak software which, properly set, does exactly the same (and even something more) as our beloved but unfaithful Dropbox; I am still testing it and I am not sure how truly reliable this SpiderOak is but it seems pretty decent so far. And free till 2GB. Now, the ppc version is no more officially supported but you can search de web and download SpiderOak 4.8.4, and it works just fine on my Powerbook 12" with Leopard onboard, syncing files with the updated version on my Yosemite iMac 27. Let me know if have any problem finding the legacy one.
