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 ...

Tommaso, I installed SpiderOak 4.8.4 on my Mac PPC G5 (Lion 10.5.8) and it gives this error: "Server error: 400. A newer version of this software is required. The application will exit now." That happens when I try to log in with my SpiderOak account which I had first set up on my Mac Pro running Mavericks using the latest SpiderOak client. Perhaps the 4.8.4 Client knows that it cannot sync with advanced features like the SpiderOak Hive (sync folder). I was so hopeful that SpiderOak would work. Now I must once again beg Dropbox not to drop Desktop Sync functionality for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. I am a paying Dropbox user and am willing to pay 50% more for continuing Mac PPC support. Please drop us another note, Dropbox.
