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.
Hello, DB indeed stopped working on my desktop; the app in fact just disappeared one day (swoosh!) and no longer syncs when accessing the folders through a browser, which means no coordination between my work laptop and home desktop. This is beyond a serious nuisance as it impacts my work.
I appreciate the suggestions made on this thread, but while I am not a troglodyte (!) some of technical work-arounds are over my head (or beyond the time I can devote to the task). I consulted my tech person who basically thinks there is little way to avoid buying a new desktop--with the caveat that of course once I do so all sorts of other things won't work on the new machine (ie I have Adobe software suite pre-subscription mode, that I use a lot). Annoying...
Hi DrJ1,
Sounds like you are in the same boat as me, I want to keep Adobe pre-CC in use. There are other ways of synching files and I think those solutions will be cheaper than than 1 month of CC! I share some folders with others so DB is harder to replace there, as well as the 1Password synch that worked well for me...
