Would you please explain how this works? Do you downloaded the actual desktop client from the Dropbox site?
And when I start the client, entering my user and pass I still get a message that tells me that Windows XP no longer is supported - and that's it. The client don't let me in.

Yours sincerely

Arno

I have just explained how I got it to work again in another post, but
to be honest I'm not sure which step was the important one. My guess
is the version of the new desktop client which now allows xp again
when it did not a few days ago.
Oversight or deliberate I've come up empty on their web site and I'm
certainly not going to tell them its working.

Mike,

Mike,



So, I don’t really understand, why did you bother to write the
message below, and it is not a first message for the same subject.

You did not give any details, you don’t give any links, how to make
the machine working on windows xp, you keep saying, “it works”. Well,
don’t you fill, everyone is very happy for you already, and every
time when someone having problem with windows xp he or she will think
about you and fill much better.



Do you think, it is a good time to volunteer little more
information, how about some details? Beside giving an exact date
since which you still under windows xp.

Give some thoughts.



Sincerely



Igor

I was able to log in using your procedure. It appears that I can use
Drop Box though I haven't done any testing to be sure that it works
properly after I log in. It treated my login as though Drop Box were
on a new machine and took awhile to index the files I already had in
the Drop Box folder on my machine. But after awhile, it changed its
system tray message to up to date. So it appears that even though
Drop box sent messages saying it can't be used with XP any longer, it
may be able to be.

And what happens when you close the program and run it again or when
you do the same thing by rebooting?



Perhaps there is a bugg in the Drop Box system that allows you to use
the program in this way but it is not what is intended. I received
two messages before the termination date telling me that the program
can't be used and you can't log in using the program itself. If you
can do so using the procedure you gave, that would be useful to know.
But I doubt it is just a one time procedure. I suspect you have to
do so every time you close and reopen the program or every time you
do the equivalent by rebooting.

Yes, it takes you to exactly the same web page you can go to if you go
directly to the site itself by opening your browser and going there
directly. You are logging into use Drop Box with your browser. You
are not using the Drop Box desktop program. All you are doing is
using control g to have the program run your default browser and open
the login page. If you look in the system tray, you will see that
the program says starting and it never progresses. You can't use the
desktop program to access Send Space other than to have it open the
login page in your browser and that you can do directly in your
browser.

I'm not sure what you are describing. You have to log in using the
Drop Box desktop program as far as I know. You can't log in using a
browser and then use the desk top program without logging in with
that program.

I don't know why it is working forMike. It doesn't work here with XP
and I haven't heard anything indicating that it works in general. Perhaps there is something about Mike's machine that isn't standard.

I can't believe Drop box still works for xp. I'm glad it still does
for those who use it. My xp box died a long time ago! My very first
xp box quit serving me when I started using jaws 11. It couldn’t
handle it. I had to give it to a sighted user. Yes, with it I had
drop box. I was going into chat rooms that used tc conference. The
second box I got from a friend. it died shortly after I got my 7 box
witch I still have. I'm happy with 7. If I get or end up with ten so
be it.

Lino, there's no need to take that sort of tone, especially when
you're wrong.

It is possible to adjust Windows XP so that it gets updates
intended for Point
of Sale (POS) terminals, and these continue until April 9th, 2019.

You may not wish to continue using Windows XP yourself, but please
don't be so
abusive (or misinformed) towards those who do, and who know what
they're doing
to keep it going.

Dropbox did indeed end their support. Fanagle it to work to your
little hearts content.

It obviously detects the operating system. They have sent out many
messages from well over a month ago warning people about this and
it did actually last an extra day. I see now they are claiming
that its a security issue with xp as its not been updated for
over two years, however many of us do have xp updates till 2019,
and really should not be all shoved together with the great
unwashed as it seems xp users are seen these days.

Hi,

the update of Dropbox is pushed by one or more entries in
scheduled tasks. So it would be possible to stop the Dropbox
client to update itself. But as I wrote in my last mail - it
didn't matter. Dropbox didn't let you in with an old version of
the client. Yours sincerely
