Warnings that syncing will stop unless we update Mac OS to a newer version
I've recently seen warnings that dropbox will not continue syncing unless we update Mac OS to a newer version. I get it, 10.14 is old. The issue our company has is that we have a series of computers ...
Thanks for the quick reply, Walter. When opening the dropbox menu in the main menu bar, that was where this notification appeared. It said support for syncing on 10.14 would be discontinued, but you could still access files through the website. It was there for the last few days and while we were trying to figure out what to do today the notification is no longer in the menu. The menu appears to have changed as well, as if the version was updated in the background. I did see 10.13 listed on the website still, but if syncing for the older OS is going to end we really need to know. There doesn't appear to be anything else that supports legacy versions for this style of syncing data.
Thanks,
James

Dropbox will, at some point, stop syncing for 10.14, as to when nobody will know that until it is announced.
So, it may be that you need to think of some measures to mitigate this before it occurs as often when they do announce you only get a few months notice.
That said, from experience often syncing doesnt immediately 'stop' on the day that it says it wont work, you do sometimes get some grace period, but, it usually does stop within a week or so.
