Allowing people to continue running what would become an old version of the desktop client is not an option because sometimes we must make non-backwards compatible changes to the way the client talks to the Dropbox servers.Ĭontinuing to have our desktop client support 10.4 and 10.5 would come at the expense of improving the experience for more recent versions of OS X.
Supporting these old versions of OS X would come at the expense of improvements for more recent versions of OS X. I’ve read all of your responses and wanted to provide some additional background on why we’re ending support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5. We understand this is disruptive to some of our users and that’s why we’ve announced this many months in advance. On January 22, Dropbox posted the following explanation:

And to improve efficiency, Dropbox can also sync files between machines (Macs, Windows PCs, Linux boxes, etc.) on the same network. It keeps track of all the files in your Dropbox folder in the cloud, and it automagically updates any file you’ve modified to each machine that has it in its Dropbox folder. Also, my iPhone uploads photos to Dropbox, so they’re also available on my Macs.ĭropbox is brilliant. I don’t know how I ever got along before Dropbox, which lets me sync files on any of my Macs running OS X 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and 10.9 Mavericks.ĭropbox also lets me selectively sync files, so some files are only on my old Power Mac G4 and G5, some only on my Intel-based Mac mini and MacBook.
