Request regarding MacOS X 10.10 (Yosemite) & 10.11 (El Capitan)
I just received a notice that dropbox will cease support for OS 10.10 and 10.11.
The notice, giving it the most leeway i can, indicated that i should consider upgrading my OS or use a web brows...
Hi justmeinNJ & Chern - thanks for dropping by our Community to share your feedback on this.
As you probably know, as of October 17th 2022, the Dropbox desktop app will no longer work on any Mac device running OS X 10.11 or older.
If you do not wish to or cannot update your operating system, all your files will still be available through other compatible computers with supported operating systems, through supported mobile devices, and on the Dropbox website. However, on October 17th, 2022, devices running Mac OS X 10.11 or older will no longer be able to log in and access content through the Dropbox desktop app.
Kindly note that we regularly release new versions of the Dropbox desktop app with additional features, better performance, and security enhancements and these are not always compatible with older systems.
Apple stopped providing security updates to OS X 10.10 and OS X 10.11 in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
We are ending our support of the Dropbox desktop app for these operating systems to keep our product offerings in-line.
Let me know if you have anything else to add or ask.
Contention? Really!? Weird and uniformed.
Lot of maybes here. You'll never know.
We are talking about dropbox support of older MAC systems right? I think your intolerance is shining. Was is the word "Capitalism", that got you?
You are cancelled. Bye.
Shame to hear the angry tones...
I have newer Macs running newer OSs but want this machine to run this older OS rather than upgrade it (which I could). But this OS allows me to continue to use my Adobe apps I purchased years ago rather than pay $100/month to rent them in future. Plus I have a very sophisticated logging system combined with my own dtrace system observation tools, I'd loose that with unified logging.
So I have to choose dropping Dropbox, it is the less useful option - to me.
Just having a chance to look at my logging it seems Dropbox is still working hard after my local backup and dupe of files. So even though there is no evidence of communication to the cloud DB is working through the file system changes list and noting the file changes. Obviously that will stop when I un-install it!
