There are undoubtedly many reasons, in addition to the Snow Leopard example I mentioned above, for users to stick with older versions of Mac operating systems - the old saw that “the way to recognize pioneers is from the arrows in their backs” comes to mind. Dropbox provides more information about the end of desktop support for older systems in its help center. We’ll see how long Web browsers compatible with those older operating systems remain supported. Dropbox says that older systems running a “ supported browser” should still be able to access files through the Dropbox Web site.
This is not to say that such older systems will be completely cut off from accessing Dropbox files. Many tend to be folk who, like me, have kept a Snow Leopard system operating in order to run PowerPC-based applications Snow Leopard was the last Mac OS that supported Rosetta, the PowerPC emulator that enabled Intel-based Macs to run such apps (see “ Rosetta and Lion: Get Over It?,” ).
Not that it matters much, but you won’t be able to download or install the Dropbox desktop app on those systems after 3 November 2017.Īlthough the vast majority of Mac users have updated their Macs to later versions of OS X and macOS, some continue to run older versions.

The Mac systems include those running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard through 10.8 Mountain Lion Windows Vista systems will also lose desktop support on that date.
