End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5
Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...
Knock knock . Anybody home
Sooooo is anybody at dropbox gonna tell us why they are ruining our lives. I've been a paying customer for a long time
I can not up grade above Mac Os 10.4.11 I work in Protools and it would cost me $16,000 in hardware and software to upgrade. Why can't dropbox leave a version of dropbox for older os . If Dropbox abandons os 10.4 users . We have to abandon dropbox. We have no choice. And I'm a paying client

My current workstation is a 2010 MacBook Pro, running the latest Windows 8.1 - but I'm not going to be upset in the slightest when either Apple or Microsoft drop support for it, its done a good job.
I also have a 2006 Mac Pro that runs Windows Server. Completely unsupported by Apple due to its age, but I dont expect them or anyone else to have to support me.
You have had 8 years to plan your upgrade, so you only have yourself to blame for finding yourself in this situation. It was always going to be inevitable, something was going to break or become unsupported, or did you just think the world would blissfully keep on trundling along at your pace?
Supporting older platforms, especially PowerPC, is extra work - different build platform, different tools, old library versions that also have to be maintained. As platforms age they get more and more costly to support - yours just reached the point where its no longer worth it.
