After Google, which officially abandoned Windows XP με την πιο πρόσφατη έκδοση του προγράμματος περιήγησης Chrome, η Dropbox κάνει το ίδιο και ανακοινώνει ότι, αρχής γενομένης από τις 26 Ιουνίου η desktop with her application will no longer work on the 15-year-old operating system.
The program that supports Windows XP will be removed from the dropbox resulting in a Windows XP user being unable to link to his or her old account or open a new account.
"As of August 29, 2016, the Dropbox desktop application will no longer support Windows XP. After this date you will be automatically logged out of your Dropbox account if you are running a Windows XP computer. You will be able to log in again as soon as you update your operating system to Windows Vista or later. ” explains Dröpbox.
Η company says that the only option Windows XP customers have is to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, such as Vista, 7, 8, or 10. Their files will not be affected and will remain secured in the cloud.
An alternative for those who have stuck with Windows XP and do not want to change them is to access their accounts via drppbox.com through a browser or mobile device.
So far, data shows that today Windows XP continues to run at about 10% of all computers around the world. This share is steadily declining as more companies withdraw their support.
