Asinine decision. OK, don't update features, etc. but at least let people still be able to connect via a the app.
Yeah - this is a little weird. I can understand not supporting 10.4/10. 5 under new releases, but unclear why they need to "turn it off" for 10.4/10.5. I assume that 10.4/10.5 relies on some service running on the Dropbox end that they want to turn off for security reasons.
More significant than the loss of 10.4/10.5 support per se is that this marks the end of PowerPC support. I doubt there are many Intel Macs in everyday use that are not on 10.6 at least.
