    Yes, we dropped support for iOS 8 support in v3.0.12. We had to do so to support some changes to the authorization flow. There's more information in the release log.

So the dropbox app will not work either I gather? So anyone not running iOS9 is out of luck with dropbox?

You're correct, Dropbox iOS app only supports iOS 9, so yes, anyone not running iOS 9 will not be able to use Dropbox.

 

But it's important to consider that this is an increasingly diminishing fraction of users. Less than 3% of users are on iOS 8 and less than 2% are on all other versions of iOS according to Apple.
