    Hey MWoodsMusic, thanks for joining the discussion here.

     

    I'm afraid that there's no other option apart from upgrading your computer's OS to a supported desktop environment. 
     

    in addition, you should be able to access your Dropbox account and files normally through a web browser.

     

    I wish I had a better answer than this, Mike.

Hello, I have been having no luck with tech support on this but it seems in June, we will no longer be able to use Dropbox on our Mac running Sierra 10.12. Does anyone know who to call or how to appeal to Dropbox decision makers to allow us to continue using our software that seems to run perfectly well? Upgrading is not an option because all other software would cease to function. Thank you for your help!

Alternatively, does anyone know if I install Dropbox on a virtual machine running 10.13, would it be able to sync folders in the physical 10.12 machine?
