Do all computers in a group or 'Family' need to be set up the same with the new Dropbox beta system?

If I upgrade to the new system and my partner does not upgrade, can we still access each others shared and Family folders? Thanks for your help. Jonno

    Thanks for clarifying, jonno_the_fusspot.

     

    In that case, it doesn't really matter if one computer is updated and the other isn't, you can both still access your Dropbox files as normal.

    I hope this helps!
