The Dropbox desktop application will no longer be supported for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on October 22nd
Congratulations Dropbox! You've just put the nail in the coffin of all W7 users who prefer not to be spied on and constantly used for data scraping!
Well done. If the constant scaremonger nagging about running out of space, the constant begging to upgrade, the incessant app updating demands, the constant USB device interrogation upon connection wasn't enough of an incentive to finally ditch Dropbox for good, then the cutting off of users of a still perfectly good and functional, non-spyware infested OS will be the last straw. Thank you Dropbox for giving me the incentive to go to your competitors instead and get out of your ever more bloated crapware ecosystem.
Sometimes, people need a little push to get away from what's comfortable and familiar, even though they suspect just how bad that relationship is for them. I thank you Dropbox for giving me this little push. Goodbye.

Yep, I'm sticking with windows 7 for all the reasons mentioned above. Bye bye dropbox
I haven't had luck with sync. The "cloud files" feature supposedly requires windows 10+, and I have a major problem with the "get a url" functionality (it doesn't work on files on the cloud). This, and a host of other issues, seems to be the result of their using microsoft's new cloud syncing APIs. I'm going to be trying to find some other cloud files shell extension that works as well as dropbox when the client actually stops working on win7. Anyone have any suggestions?
It is still working on Windows 7 for now, but what have they done on my Windows 11 machine? Suddenly all the files are no longer there and replaced with a cloud sign next to them, where I have to click on them and then they download.
I never asked for this. How do I disable it? I want them on the machine. I have 2TB of hard disk space and if I travel somewhere I'd expect the files on my computer to be there without me having to continually download the ones I want.
Another company who forces their new ideas on users without asking them first?
