Anyone care to speculate how Project Infinitie might affect us PowerPC users (in light of @Czo's patch)?
Looks like a business offering, it will interesting to see if it affects those of us who are free (loading) personal account users
No…Czo took care of that. Redownload his patch. He updated it a couple of days ago.
Have you updated to the latest version Czo made?
I'm not having any issues.

Cannot confirm this. Dropbox is functioning just fine for me. Wondering if the user has not updated to your latest version.
OK sorry, it work now. Re-installed it from the one linked on the previous page, and all ok now.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience . I have too many PPC macs , and this is the one I had not updated with the last patched version apparently... though I was sure I had...strange.
Anyway, Thanks again.

My dropbox is works perfect. Synchronization is working correctly too.

28 days. The new update for iOS was released today. I am noticing that when they do an iOS update that introduces new features it breaks on our PowerPC Macs.

I quite and restarted it. Still have the warning. Sometimes it takes a while to push. US had an iOS update to Dropbox today. Probably hasn't hit Germany yet.
Oh - I see bad things coming ...
At home, there's no problem: just make a >10.5 mac a "dropbox-server" by file-sharing...
On the go hook into that mac with TeamViewer and transfer files or move them to any available webDAV-account or mail the file to yourself. Or use the browser...
But that's not the same as with real Dropbox.
The future changes in Dropbox with file-alias on the computer and the files on the server would be the ultimate solution for old PPC-hardware: download file on request with no local space on the harddrive beeing consumed to the all the Dropbox folders.
Too bad, the PPC will be left behind in future...
That makes me a big fan of webDAV for old macOS and PPC-OSX
But: it's not the same
The original reason for this thread was to post a contingency plan. Then Nathan Hill and Czo came along with better solutions. I trust Czo will fix this (again) but if he cannot then at least he and Nathan have given us all another year.Oh - I see bad things coming ...

If that does happen, I'll just go back to the solution I originally posted which was to share the Dropbox folder from my MacPro at work. It's on 24/7 no matter what and I can connect to it from anywhere. Just drop my files in and the they reflect up to Dropbox. I created a Fluid app at the time for easy access to the website if I need to do anything more on my PowerPC Macs.
Hopefully Czo can save us all again though!
