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 ...

I was also able to implement the Dropbox client v. 3.2.9 hack using Czo's solution on two of my Mac PPC G5s (Mac OS X 10.5.8). The only problem is that the gear does not work in the lower right corner of the Dropbox interface (invoked by clicking on top menu bar icon), making it difficult to stop Dropbox or set selective sync preferences. There is talk of this broken gear issue on one of the threads previously mentioned. 

I am syncing video files just like before – as large as 7 GB.

I can't understand why Dropbox has abandoned Mac PPCs. Surely, some well-paid staff programmer at Dropbox could come up with a fully functional Dropbox client for 10.5.8/PPC.

Any bells and whistles that are being added to Dropbox don't seem to be breaking the Windows XP Dropbox client app. So, what gives? And who asked for these new bells and whistles? Not me! I want basic file syncing.
