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 am now placed in the position of having to remove approximately 50% of my files (maybe more) even though I still use dropbox with my home computer. All of my work related files are dependent upon my 10.5 computer (provided by my school district) which cannot use the newer OS version you seem to need.
I feel particularly gyped because I paid for professional level this year just so I could keep all those files easily available both at work and at home.
If I am unable to complete my work by the end of the month, our program stands to lose funding for students whose files I cannot access from work, and I can't do all my work from home. Perhaps there was "warning" but I certainly never noticed it in the sea of emails that flow past each day. I am feeling even less charitable to Apple for not being backwards compatible than I am to Dropbox, but it's a close run.... Just flippin' let us do the work we need to do, and stop "improving" everything for a year or ten. Or at least let us keep using what we've been using, without poking us in the eyeball and saying, "NO! YOU NEED TO HAVE A BETTER WAY!" even though we're doing just fine without it.
