"Why can't my legacy version support files over 2GB?" Well, your computer from 1996 uses FAT32 file system, which physically can't handle a single file greater than 2GB. Eventually, their "new" version and their "legacy" version will operate differently, adding confusion for the end users.

If a newer operating system uses X version of API to support newer features and your previous generation operating system lacks X version of that API, the software vendor either has to A) cripple their software to not use that new version of API (if the new operating system will allow an older API to be used, which lots don't) or B) continue to pay their development staff to write and develop updates for a separate version of their software to work on just the older version of operating system you're running).

On the flip side, software companies have the choice of what operating systems they will fund their development staff to continue to write code for.
That is completely your choice, and I will agree with you 100% on that. You are correct, you do have the right to choose which operating system to use. Sorry to say it, but you'll eventually be left behind if you don't keep up with the times. This is simply the price you pay by using older systems and software, and that doesn't even take security issues into account. If you're no longer getting updates from the creator of an operating system, how can you expect other companies to continue supporting it. You didn't specify the version of OS X you're running, but the latest of the versions no longer supported by Dropbox, OS X 10.8, hasn't been supported by Apple since Autumn of 2015. That's just how it is, with any software company.
As they improve their product to use newer technologies, older systems that can't support those technologies are left behind. Your old, no longer supported (by Apple) operating system isn't capable of running the developing technologies that Dropbox will use into the future. Having to support older operating systems holds back development. I've been loyally using this website for years and for them to basically be like you aren't important as a user any more because you don't have the latest tech, is a load of bull.
