Download Dropbox For Windows

Dropbox was installed before the upgrade to Windows 11. It has run completely fine but with the recent update to dropbox I was told I needed to update to the latest version in order to continue using Dropbox. However, despite my attempts to install the update it never starts.

i have been using dropbox for over 3 years but today it is not even opening the /home page... i use windows xp professional operating system on my computers. I have noticed , for the past year or so, banner announcements on my dropbox files & folders page that say xp is not being supported... but dropbox has operated fine. Please help as dropbox is integral to my freelance work. Thank you. 9 July 2019.

I'm using Chrome, which is one of the supported browsers. It has worked perfectly well up until about a week ago. Ie I was able to use dropbox online and manually upload / download files. I could also see what documents I had in dropbox and move them around. Now however there is nothing. I cannot get in. When I click on dropbox the little 'loading icon' just goes round and round and round and round. And the screen stays blank.

Hi again and thanks for the support. I cleared the cache and now the little arrow doesn't go round. the screen just sits there, blank. I havent' tried any other browser or incognito window since i never used them before when dropbox worked. Anyway....I suppose that it has just been 'improved' out of reach. sigh.

meanwhile using chrome on android, i seem unable to upload a file to dropbox. but at least i can download what is already there so I haven't lost all my documents. yet. although that waits to be confirmed as dropbox might 'develop' further 'improvements'! if it works why 'fix' it? lol

Hi Hannah, sorry for the delay. I have been trying to take a screenshot and send it to you with Screenshot Captor, but due to my inability to understand these programs I seem to keep messing things up. I am no longer sure if what I was doing was right and I couldn't work out how to send it to you. These 7 dropbox.exe were all running in Process Explorer and that is what I was trying to capture and send. Thanks for any help, Olddog76.

Recently purchased new Dell desktop with Windows 11 Home (NOT in S mode). Have been using Dropbox for years with windows 10. Trying to setup Dropbox in Windows 11. I go to the Dropbox website and click on download app. Screen then displays a Dropbox message that says the Dropbox app is already installed. I check the apps on the computer and there are no Dropbox apps installed. I did install, during initial setup, the Dropbox in S mode as that was the only Dropbox app available in the Microsoft Store. Then after several hours trying to figure out how it worked, I researched Windows 11 in S mode and found out it does not apply to my computer (again, computer not running in S mode) so I uninstalled the Dropbox in S mode app from the computer. Now I can't load the regular Dropbox app. How do I get the regular app installed?

5. A Dropbox screen came up that said that Dropbox was already installed and there was a blue button below the message that says Open App. I clicked on the button and nothing happened and dropbox still did not show up in my File Explorer.

My employer uses dropbox as a shared drive, and has done so successfully for several years. However I've just started, and have run into an issue where many files are not openable via the windows file explorer folder.

After boot and login, the dropbox process uses 30% - 40% of CPU. I understand it's indexing so that's fine - but - once it's complete and sitting idle, it frequently uses CPU. At idle, it will go from not using anything one minute to using ~20% the next. Seems to do this randomly yet the status of the client never changes. I am not (and have not in days) accessing / modifying any of the synced files when this occurs.

I ran into this problem a year ago during my graduate studies. My solution to the issue at the time was more of a work around. I would completely pause dropbox syncing when I was working on my laptop.

I'm using Unity3D as a game developer. All my projects are hosted on Github and my repo are synced in my dropbox folder (so I can easily switch between my laptop and desktop and have the modifications synced).

When you did the install in 1P 8 prompted you to migrate the dropbox (local) items items out. if you said no, then you can do them afterwards as you want.

1 method i found: use ipad, but thats one-by-one by chosing the option to move each item to a new vault. use move, not copy.

At the end, of this i destroyed my dropbox files and the dropbox deleted items to make sure that they were gone off dropbox. i dont want them hanging around there. also deleted by local backups. I am relying on 1pwd to do the backups, except for 1new local encrypted backup set i keep

Im enjoying the new 1p 8 after 5 years on dropbox/local etc. But i didnt store my master password in 1Pwd for autofill. (no logical reason, but i feel better, since i had 5 years of local/dropbox data.

I'm a Dropbox user on Windows 10, with automatic updates enabled.I've got some portable software installed in a folder in my Dropbox. When I hit my Windows key and start typing, for example "winscp.exe" (a portable program in my dropbox), no results come up. If I click on "search", just below my keyword, after a while only an .ini file with a mention of WinSCP pops up.

Hello Nancy; Still very frustrated. I am referring to my Dropbox installation on my laptop, Windows 10. Still same problem. I can open the c:\(user)\Dropbox folder (but it takes a long time) and can see the folders with it. But I cannot open any of them by clicking on the folder (I am referring to Windows Explorer, not opening dropbox with my browser).

I got no idea why you need to sync the file server to dropbox ? Have you tested what if you have a PC to dropbox sync and all the "working files" in the PC that is supposed to be sync gets deleted or corrupted ?

Sounds fairly crazy, as its designed to run from a desktop I'd probably make my first port of call an option to open up access to dropbox, a bit of monitoring in your firewall logs should help work out the best rules, then apply those to group 2 and install it locally as intended, if that really isn't an option then my next thought was based on linux inotify, i've never tested this link but maybe have a play and see if it helps: -to-monitor-a-folder-and-trigger-a-command-line-action-whe... Opens a new window

So for that I'd setup dropbox on a supported machine and give it access to the SMB share, then use something like that to monitor the dropbox folders for changes and another script to monitor the SMB share for changes and then trigger copies back and forth. The trouble with smb sharing dropbox from a workstation is Windows clients run out of connections quite quickly, so you'd be rebooting, servers don't have this artificial limit. Obviously if you are going to monitor for changes and copy them back and forth, you'll need some way of handling conflicts, which is likely why Dropbox doesn't want to run on a server without a user monitoring the app and responding to conflicts themselves.

Sounds like you should just move to a different product. I see people using dropbox all the time who could just as easily accomplish all the same tasks with OneDrive/Sharepoint(/Google Drive) yet they're paying for Dropbox in addition to their other subscription. If it's not supported, doing some kind of elaborate gymnastics to make it work is just asking for trouble.

Dropbox stopped supporting for dropbox folder on NTFS partitions in Linux. Until recently I could workaround the issue by keeping the folder on an NTFS partition and using a symbolic link to the folder on an ext4 partition.

This workaround stopped working in the past days, where dropbox started complaining that it cannot start because the folder is not on an ext4 partition. I would rather not duplicate my files since I have around 20 Gb of files and my SSD is not that big.

As you have succesfully synced your mobile device with Dropbox cloud and while syncing your PC with the same dropbox cloud you are getting this error of "Invalid master password". Enter the Master Password of your (Mobile) vault which has encrypted your backup files to your Dropbox cloud.

Until now I have been using webDAV with dropbox on Windows 10 with minimal issues. I care only about file safety and integrity and I do NOT care about speed at all. I only use windows 10 (maybe windows 11 in the future).

Also I wanted to ask @infeo and @overheadhunter, for critical files where integrity is of max importance, would you recommend WinFSP or is it still better to stick to WebDAV as size/speed do not matter to me, only stability/integrity. I have read many of your posts and it seems the initial WinFSP integration for windows a few years ago was problematic and was abandoned for quite some time initially. Are we now at a point where WinFSP is more suitable for critical files than WebDAV (for Windows 10/11 and Dropbox)?

Thank you for pointing that out. I am only going to use WinFSP on Windows 10/11, I assume this would prevent me from accidentally having both test.txt and Text.txt due to using windows explorer, is this correct? Or do I still need to monitor this myself to avoid this situation?

Thanks John for the explanation.

The rhl file is well copied from one computer to another via dropbox, but it is therefore possible that the second computer does not take the file correctly into account if I understand correctly.

Houston founded Evenflow, Inc. in May 2007[21] as the company behind Dropbox, and shortly thereafter secured seed funding from Y Combinator.[22] Dropbox was officially launched at 2008's TechCrunch Disrupt, an annual technology conference.[23] Owing to trademark disputes between Proxy, Inc. and Evenflow, Dropbox's official domain name was "getdropbox.com" until October 2009, when it acquired its current domain, "dropbox.com".[23] In October 2009, Evenflow, Inc. was renamed Dropbox, Inc.[24] ff782bc1db
