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 ...

Dropped by Dropbox! As with many others, a 10.4 PPC Mac is my main machine. That I can use Dropbox on other devices is irrelevant.

At least Dropbox has handled this with somewhat better explanation than Skype's more than disingenuous "In order to provide the best service for all users" . . . And, unlike Skype, I suspect they will agree to refunds for anyone who has prepaid use outstanding on their account.

Still, sad. Also as with many others, the support for older machines was one of the reasons I regularly recommended Dropbox to others. I have a long memory, so, when I do eventually get another computer, Dropbox will likely not be part of it.
