As you can see down thread, the text of the notification from DropBox mentions "limited functionality after October 22, 2024"  and  "plans to cease functionality for these versions of Windows Server in May 2025".  That's a period of six months, and it's not at all clear what functionality will continue and for how long (despite never having been supported).
