Using latest Dropbox on Catalina and Ventura Macs

[nunoise]

Hello.

I run Dropbox (desktop) on two Macs, one running Ventura and an older machine, offsite on Catalina.

If i update the Ventura Mac to the latest Dropbox, will this prevent/hinder my using Dropbox (desktop) on the Catalina Mac?

My understanding is the latest Dropbox is not compatible with Catalina.

Thanks.

Hi @nunoise, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

Dropbox is currently compatible with Catalina (As of June 27th 2023, the Dropbox desktop app will no longer work on any Mac device running macOS 10.12 or older - the Catalina OS is 10.15) and no, updating one device to the most recent version of the desktop app for Mac OS won't be affecting your ability to use Dropbox on the other machine.

I hope this helps!

thanks very much for the quick and concise reply, Walter.

i will update the Ventura Mac.

i didn't get a message on the Catalina machine like I did on the Ventura machine to update Dropbox desktop.

should i update the Catalina machine? Can I?

thanks again,

joe

Hey @nunoise, sorry to jump in here!

The update is currently available to macOS 12.5 or later, so you will not need to update the Catalina machine to the new Dropbox for macOS version.
