Don't know what to say. I redownloaded the app and replaced it. Still getting a warning.
Got a tip for us?

Dropbox.app.zip has been upgraded! Check it now! I hope we get an another month! (maybe this is the last time, because faking the new versioning scheme seems to be more harder than the old one)
My Dropbox hasn't stopped working, so I hadn't even noticed the Evil Warning, but today I checked and it was there. But Czo did his magic again, and now it's gone. I'm sorry to hear that you won't be doing this for much longer, Czo, as without your efforts PPC Dropbox users will be lost.
What bugs me (again and again and again) is that they said that they would be "dropping support" for PPC users, not that they would be actively going after us.
I'd say there's a difference.

I don't think Czo is stopping work on this…I think he just mentioned that it's getting more difficult to fake out the app and that therefore it may prevent him from patching it at some point.My Dropbox hasn't stopped working, so I hadn't even noticed the Evil Warning, but today I checked and it was there.

He did say this may be the last fix, though. Can't say I blame him. He has done a lot of good.
Dropbox started using a new versioning scheme (maybe a complete app rewrite?): https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes
So, the currently faked version (3.20.1) is the last version that using very-very similar file/module names like the last official PPC version. Newer versions requires a lot more time and it's seems to very difficult to fix it.

I haven't been on my PPC for a few weeks. I turned it on today, and Dropbox is stuck on "Downloading file list". Has there been a recent update? In the meantime, I will try re-installing.
Usually when it's stuck like that it's because there are a large amount of changes.
You can try quitting it and restarting it. Sometimes that helps.
And there it is... You're using an older version...
Reinstalled, and everything is updating now! Thank you!
It's seems to works for me without any warning on my G4. But now, i have problem with newer version of this software. I hate any 3rd party kexts, and Dropbox always installing a new one. I can unload it with kextunload, and delete it, but restore it on the next reboot. I hate it, and i don't want to use the new feature and the new kext...
Yeah, I updated to the last version CZO posted, but it's giving me the upgrade notice again as of today.
Maybe I missed an update? Is anyone else getting the warning?

Got it this morning. Was going to post about it tonight.
Hopefully @Czo can save us again, but it's doubtful. The last round he says was much harder.
Seems to found a solution to report any version to the dropbox server. I wait some days to check if it's working fine before make the release. http://homokozo.czo.hu/dropboxfixppc/maybe.png
I've never used Dropbox, but give a huge pat-on-the-back to Czo and all others doing their part to keep us PPC users smiling!
