End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

Just adding my support here for not killing the app for PowerPC (Tiger/Leopard). So, you cut us out from newer versions. Fine, but throwing us out altogether is punitive.

Sugarsync still allows PowerPC connections using a PowerPC version of their app. Why can't you? Why must we be forcibly logged out?

I have several Macs that use Dropbox and only one Intel Mac. Throwing us out makes Dropbox on the Intel Mac irrelevant. And don't give us this we can use the browser stuff. Uploading one file at a time when you have many files is just not doable and defeats the very purpose for why Dropbox was created.

I urge you to reconsider this decision. Skype threw us out too, but creative PowerPC minds found a workaround and plenty of PowerPC users are still using Skype.
