Any XP users who rely on Dropbox? What is your plan? You'll still be able to access your files through their website, just no integration into the OS anymore. 🙁

I've never bothered with Dropbox or anything that requires client software on my machine. Mega New Zealand all the way!
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

I never liked Dropbox, but I use ownCloud to have some kind of simple sync.
The host is a Raspberry Pi B (512 megs) with a 128 Gb USB pendrive as storage.

Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

You don't need a client. I upload and download files fine in my browser.
Clients are helpful for direct saving or when using personal clouds, using in conjunction with dropbox.
I make personal clouds for my dosbox game saves and continue playing between my home desktop and my laptop.
Anyway, shouldn't the older installer for Windows XP enough? Or maybe older client versions compatible with XP are no longer supported all together?

From the link I posted in my opening post:
On August 29, 2016, the Dropbox desktop app will no longer support Windows XP. On this date, you will be automatically signed out of any Dropbox accounts linked to a Windows XP computer.

Yeah, they pulled this stunt on PPC Macs (and x86 machines running OSX Tiger/Leopard) a while ago. No way to connect using any client version that runs on them. There's an unofficial workaround to get it going but everyone's expecting Dropbox to shut it out when they catch on. I can understand not wanting to maintain the codebase on older platforms but going out of their way to block the old clients from connecting is beyond asinine. Unimpressed.

I wonder how they'd react if everyone had a negative opinion about this on their forums and threatened to ditch DropBox for a competing alternative.

Considering that the amount of people that use XP on Steam hardware survey is 1.66% of Steam users, i doubt they would give a flying f*ck. The global percentage of XP users is larger, sure, but according to NetStatistics still only 10.34%.

Threatening to ditch DropBox for a competing alternative after they've already told you they don't want your business... Yeah, you're not going to win anything by trying that.
The only useful dosbox's features i use is to copy files from PC to android devices via its sync feature.

Hate Dropbox, it sucks. People on hwbot and ocn link stuff though it every now and then and the links almost never take you were there supposed to. Someone links there Dropbox to share a driver and BANG you get porn. Or malware. The links are legit and all, even a mod on hwbot links it, but something on there back end is wrong.
At least they had XP support, OneDrive never had it, though OneDrive is better 🤣.
