I think in these days where sustainability, inclusion, recycling and climate problems dominate, the client should be supported in keeping a computer as long as possible.
When organisations like Dropbox (or Adobe, or Apple) limit their systems, and force users into a new operatingsystem since the desktopapp of Dropbox otherwise won't work, they exclude a large number of people on this planet. They cannot use the app on their outdated systems. They force their clients to eventually buy new computers when it's no longer possible to upgrade the operating system.
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TO CONSIDER TO ACTUALLY BUY A NEW COMPUTER BECAUSE OF THE DROPBOX APP!
(A yeah, Dropbox says 'but you can still sync the files'….sorry but the app is needed for saving and opening files! It's my work that's affected!)
Dropbox is not user friendly anymore.
So, I am truly shocked that Dropbox is not investing in several solutions or offers 'older' apps for different operating systems.
Dropbox could and should be an example in contributing to sustainability, inclusion, recycling and climate problems and use this to promote their company as well.
