But because "Stuff Happens", make sure any Mac you take with you is backed up. Again, it might be best to use an external disk as the Mavericks destination. If you have another Mac that is old enough to run Mavericks, take that Mac with you. You can also use SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner or Disk Utility -> Restore to transfer the contents of the bootable external disk to any other bootable partition you want. Then you can boot from the external disk when you get home.

Without paying for a full upgrade to PT 12 I thought my best bet would be to go to the one OS version both companies could agree on, Mavericks, only to find that option barred to me.

On the other hand, DropBox has decided to drop support for Mac OS Mountain Lion or below. Now, Pro Tools 10 cannot run on anything past Mavericks with any certainty (actually, it's a disaster), although it worlks well with Mavericks. I also use DropBox to send music to clients and collaborators (mostly the latter these days. I use this machine for Pro Tools v.10.3.10. Here's my situation: I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5,5, running Mountain Lion (and Sierra on a separate drive). Sierra is limited to the following machines:
