- I have said before that as long as they are selling any models of BB10 phones they have an ethical obligation (and business interest) to keep the basic functions working for at least a couple of years unless it is justimpossible -- like maybe the RAM problem on the tablet if that was for real.
To me this includes Link, Blend and drobox functionality. I don't want to argue about what are basic functions, but that's my take on it. Good companies support their products and go beyond expectations. But that is not Chen's style with anything which is too bad for BlackBerry.

Connect to Dropbox hasn't been listed as EOL on their lifecycle page so who knows, we may still see a fix for it but keeping it working for over two years since the last BB10 device launched seems to fit your definition anyway.

There's a YouTube channel I watch called TechMoan, and one of the things the guy does is acquires examples of just about every consumer audio and video recording format that was ever made. He managed to find a brand new (old stock, obviously) Pioneer 8-track player/recorder still sealed in the original box! The thing is 40 years old, but he's the original owner and just opened it up.
Think Pioneer is going to support this unit just because the seal on the box was just broken? Not a chance - and that's the same expectation for BB10 phones, the last of which was released in 2015. Smartphones are widely accepted to have a 2-year replacement cycle, and those devices are coming up on 3 years. BB isn't going to have much reason to provide ANY support for them for too much longer.10-05-17 03:09 PMLike 0 - But they AREN'T selling any models of BB10 phones - or any other phones. The last of BB's inventory was closed out almost 3 quarters ago. Just because a handful of retailers are still selling old inventory doesn't mean BB is obligated to support it. LOL.

Amazon is clear that, for any product sold as new, it's the seller's responsibility to verify that any manufacturer warranty will be honored, but consumers don't pay attention to anything but price.

Even with Dropbox Apps is no longer working there is still a way to access, managed and share your Dropbox files using the native BB10 file manager
In short, make sure that your Dropbox sync folder from your PC is listed into your Remote Acces File folder in BBLink. Then in your BB10 file manager, go to your PC devices then to your Dropbox folders...

You are welcome to any opinions you like, but legally, you have no case.
And as many have pointed out, given that BB is out of the smartphone business, and nearly out of the consumer business, they aren't concerned with what a handful of bitter former users think. They obviously anticipated that a few would be very upset, but that concern was minor compared to the concerns of investors who had lost their tolerance for BB losing money on BB10, or smartphones as a whole.10-09-17 03:31 PMLike 0 - I think you will find that every smartphone you have ever purchased from any manufacturer comes with a software license that specifies that software support is not guaranteed and can end at any time.

At least BlackBerry's leadership finally accepted the truth that they are a B2B company and refocused on the things they're actually good at. Leaving the hardware to companies that want to deal with consumers has freed them to do things that their traditional customers actually care about: Enterprise security, EMM, and productivity.
Posted with my trusty Z10app_Developer likes this.10-19-17 08:09 AMLike 1 - Selling to consumers? You're absolutely right. It was never part of the company culture. Research and Development, Design, Manufacturing, and Network Operations were RIM's strengths, and that worked perfectly for them until the game changed in 2007 with the iPhone. After that, only a consumer electronics company could succeed in smartphones. And that was never BlackBerry.

If I'm honest though, Dropbox Android app runs pretty well and I certainly didn't have any complaints with it.
This new Basket app is definitely equal in its good performance, that is for sure.
