"DropBox is indispensable to me and this is by far a tool that I recommend without hesitation. This technical abandonment of older versions of MacOS X is unfortunately outrageous and discriminatory. The technical and evolutionary arguments are a sham and denote and a total disregard of the customer. The customer is thus a cash cow that needs to be milked dry. DropBox pushes the notion of obsolescence to the extreme ... obliging its customers to consume more, to change machines for fear of being abandoned on the pathway of technology. In other words, to have the resources, you must go to the bank! If you cannot change your machine ... sorry for you but the adventure stops there! Thus, one becomes digitally homeless ... all you need is browser obsolescence and you're completely dead! This practices DISCRIMINATES and leads to over-consumption and we are astonished at the pollution generated by technology !!!!!"
