Needs to work in Mavericks

[dropbox02]

The app needs to work in Mavericks, its useless if it doesnt since Mavericks was the last decent OS to come from apple.

You really need to be clear about what your customers are doing with your app. don’t tell us we are going to download the app then take us to a sign in page, it looks dodgy. tell us you will take us to a sign in page to get an api from the company we are going to connect with that will be built into the app which we will then download.

oh and you might want to be CLEAR about what o/s your app works with before you MAKE us sign in, what a waste of time!
but seriously, if you cant build it for mavericks, i wont be using it!!!

Thanks for your feedback, especially regarding your sign in flow sentiments.

We do mention you need to be on OS X 10.10 or higher in our docs page (where you go to download the installer). Unfortunately we won’t be supporting Mavericks since it’s off Apple’s main support list; Apple will only be issuing critical security updates but no other updates to that version of OS X. I’d recommend updating for your own sake.

Good luck, and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

There are a few reasons for this, but the largest is that we want to ensure, going forward, that we are working 100% within Apple’s desktop application guidelines. Unfortunately, Apple never made Finder extension integrations available in OS X versions prior to OS X Yosemite 10.10. This meant 3rd parties that wanted to provide use…

odrive will run on Mavericks, but it will be missing the Finder integrations, although I do offer an alternate method that, while not as elegant, may work for your needs. You can find that further on in the above thread:

The odrive desktop client will no longer support OS X Mavericks 10.9 and below

I wanted to clarify that odrive will still run on 10.7 - 10.9, but it will be missing the context menus and overlays. For those interested, I created a few (“unofficial”) simple service scripts this morning that can be added to Finder to allow right-click sync, unsync, refresh, and status for these older versions of OS X, using the CLI underneath. Definitely not as nice as the native Finder integration context menus, but it is an OS X supported way to add right-click menu options to Finder. I d…
