    Default DropBox ending for Win XP

    Dropbox for XP ending in august 2016. I really don't want to update the many instances of XPSP3 on my PC's. From the email I received I get the impression that not just support will cease but Dropbox itself will just vanish from my old network devices. Just looking for ideas as to what might replace this great Syncing software.
    Any thoughts ?

    Are you referring to Dropbox, as in dropbox.com, software on your PC's ?

    Windows XP came out in 2001, 15 years ago. Its not much of a surprise that companies are no longer supporting it.

    Support for XP may be ending, but, I suspect, that the old program may still work after the use by date. Otherwise it may be worth looking at some variants of the *nix OS as a replacement for XP.

    FWIW I do still load XP on machines where I have no other license available and still need a M$ OS.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
