Dropbox will no longer support MAC OS10.12 in June. How will this affect my other device?
I use Dropbox on a Dell laptop running Windows 10 and on a Mac running MAC OS10.12. Dropbox will no longer support MAC OS10.12 in June. How will this affect my ability to use Dropbox on my Dell lapto...
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.
Thank you for your reply.I understand that logic but I am looking for a workaround.
What do you know about running Dropbox on a virtual machine running 10.13? If my Mac is running a virtual machine can Dropbox synchronize folders on the physical machine via a bridge?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Pip5, we cannot indicate whether this would work fully as expected as this is third party software and may have unexpected configurations. We do have some general recommendations that may help.
For Dropbox to work correctly, it needs to be installed in an Operating System (OS) that is not part of a Shared Session. If installing into a virtual environment, it would need to be installed into a user account that is part of this virtual desktop or virtual machine and only accessed by that user account. The Dropbox folder should also be located on the same mounted drive that is running the virtual machine or virtual desktop.
Please be aware that if you install Dropbox on a virtual machine or virtual desktop that are non-persistent, such that they are reset on a schedule or after logging off, Dropbox may be logged out and need to resync everytime this occurs.
I hope this information helps. I'm going to keep the thread open, for others to share their input!
