Hey dvanschrick, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
We really appreciate your feedback on this; I've already passed your comments along to our team.
Keep in mind that Windows Servers are not a supported setup for Dropbox.
Running Dropbox on an unsupported operating system carries the risk of loss of functionality, but your feedback has been reported.
If there's something else we can help you with, let us know.

Hi dvanschrick
After further investigation, you should be able to restore Dropbox functionality by opting out of early (beta) releases. You can follow the instructions here to do so.
While Dropbox does not support Windows Server OS, this error message should not populate for Windows Server 2025, and it forces the app to quit. Reverting to the stable build should fix this as the banner message does not appear on the stable build.
Our engineers are now aware of this and are working to ensure this is fixed in future releases.
Ben
