Don't push an update to my desktop client. What I don't understand is why does the sync have to stop working? It worked yesterday. And, since I'm a web developer too, I routinely deal with folders that have hundreds, or potentially thousands of files in them, that I have to keep in sync. Downloading those files one at a time from the web interface is not pleasant. I routinely deal with files that are over 1 GB. Oh, but I can still use the web interface. ![]() And this morning I got an email that I've been logged out of my Dropbox account and it will no longer sync. #10.6.8 MAC DROPCOPY NOT WORKING PRO#But the Mac Pro is used for music and video editing because that's how my studio is set up. In fact, the laptop doesn't have any documents on it that aren't in the Dropbox folder. The world doesn't run on new hardware alone.ĭoes Dropbox have any idea how much they just screwed up my workflow? I have 2016 Macbook Pro laptop and a circa 2006 Mac Pro and I use Dropbox to keep most of my files in sync. I ask Dropbox to reconsider, honor your customers and peers, do not let us down like too many times already. Besides, this makes no sense "security-wise", either, as these old computers are still allowed web access through "supported browsers", which obviously will not apply security beyond that implemented in their hosts OS. Discourageing (not encourageing) the habit and art of maintenance is in essence what Dropbox does by pulling the plug, instead of remaining backward compatible. Why pull the plug on us, it should be our choice whether to risk running unsupported software! When the hardware of my snow leopard (intel!) macs, my symbian smartphone as well as my old pcs or *nixen no longer work I will most likely replace the seized part or whole, but today I both work with and personally own computer hardware approaching an age of twenty years, because some things from the past were built to last. After almost a decade on various platforms and interfaces I have finally decided to drop dropbox, since they ignore the users who supported them from the very beginning, for no apparent reason. #10.6.8 MAC DROPCOPY NOT WORKING PROFESSIONAL#I just wanted to post this because I sometimes feel bad that I have not purchased an upgraded subscription, but my need isn't addressed, so why would I?Īnd, those users, like OP and myself, are most likely skilled and professional users, we have no choice but to chose other cloudbased services instead of buying pro licences with Dropbox. For me, it is 4 computers that will be "orphaned". ![]() Apparently, this is not a market segment that Dropbox wishes to address. This often includes a range of computers of different types and ages. I guess we can understand that for the crowd of people who use Dropbox for group collaboration, sharing files across town, the state or country, and world, they will (or can) all be on the newest, shiniest computers - I have exactly ONE of those myself.īut there is another population of users, that includes myself, that wishes to use Dropbox to share files amoung our own computers. #10.6.8 MAC DROPCOPY NOT WORKING MAC OS#Now it is Mac OS 10.6, the last OS that supports PPC applications that I run through Rosetta. Next it was Windows XP that I run on 2 computers that power my home automation system and cannot be upgraded due to that program not meeting current Windows security model criteria. First it was Mac OS 10.4 & 10.5 which meant none of my PPC Macs would be supported anymore since they cannot be upgraded to a newer OS. For the third time in as many years, I have received notification from Dropbox that they are pulling support for a particular computer OS. Macs that can be upgraded to OS X El CapitanĪre my applications compatible? See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. #10.6.8 MAC DROPCOPY NOT WORKING UPGRADE#To upgrade to El Capitan you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. El Capitan can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE. You can upgrade to El Capitan from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
