Hi RuffedGrouse, thanks for posting here!
Please note that your data in Dropbox will be safe, but you will not be able to access it through the Dropbox desktop app unless you update to a supported operating system. They will be there though.

How do I find out how the use the Dropbox website on a regular basis? I've got Mac OS 10-11, and I just got the notice that I will not be able to use Dropbox any more as of today. I can't upgrade my OS.
Do I have to manually download and upload every single file I want to use??????
