Dropbox To Stop Supporting OS X 10.5 After 18th May 2015

It is understandable that some of you guys running OS X might be running older builds of Apple’s desktop operating system. This could simply be due to hardware incompatibility with the newer versions of OS X, or it could be that you simply prefer the features and design of the older OS X builds.

However if you’re a Dropbox user, perhaps it’s time to consider upgrading. Dropbox has recently announced through emails they sent to their users that come 18th of May 2015, the company will stop supporting OS X 10.5 or older. This means that if you don’t upgrade, you won’t be able to use the app on your computer anymore.

We should also point out that this doesn’t mean that your files and photos will be deleted, but rather that they will still be there and can only be accessed once you have upgraded your computer to OS X 10.6 or newer. That being said if you can’t upgrade due to hardware limitations, your Dropbox files will still be stored in the cloud.

You will still be able to access it via the web interface, except that after the 18th of May you will be signed out of your Dropbox account on your computer and the desktop app will no longer be accessible.
