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 ...

Well, took them long enough to censor the links, LOL!

For those still looking for a solution if you go over to the MacRumors forums you will find a subforum for PowerPC Mac users. Inside there will be a searchbox. You want to do a search for that forum only for Dropbox with my username eyoungren. The name of the thread you are looking for is "Reconnecting unsupported Leopard Macs to Dropbox." That will give you the solution you seek as provided by Czo.

Gees! Took you Dropbox guys a few months to get around to the censorship! That's ok though, more than a few PowerPC users got reconnected despite your best efforts to shut us down.
