Warn HN: Dropbox sabotaged for OSX Lion

4 points by mhusby 15y ago ↗ HN

Dropbox will not work in osx Lion. It looks like they are doing OS version checking and have disallowed 10.7 Here is a screenshot: http://grab.by/98Ph

There is a forum post about this over on dropbox, if you are currently or will be soon running Lion please jump over there and let them know its important!

The forum doesn't exist.

Isn't it possible they are only doing this because 10.7 is a beta and they don't want to receive bug reports for that reason?

Sorry about that, here is the link: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=33706

And couldn't they just give a warning "Hey, may not work, please don't report bugs" and for reference this is the only software that is not working correctly for me so far.

The same thing is happening with Boingo.
