Windows 11 Upgrade and cannot get Dropbox to work properly

I recently upgraded my PC desktop to Windows 11.  Dropbox worked perfectly in Windows 10, and when I upgraded my laptop to 11, it was seamless.   On the desktop, I can access Dropbox through the web,...

    So...

    The secret (as is sadly so often the case) is a re-start.

    Once I did that, I was able to get the full Dropbox app to install, and now it looks like I can access the Dropbox files correctly.

    I don't understand this, but it did the trick.

    thanks to Megan and Jay for your help!

I have Windows 11 Pro running on a Surface Pro X.

 

The system will only allow me to use DropBox in S Mode. I want to use it locally and upload to the cloud.

 

The system will only allow me to open files using the cloud version of 365 applications.  I want to use the the local locally installed apps.

 

Are there processor limitations that prevent me from using DropBox locally?

 

What can I do to run DropBox locally?

I'm using Dropbox on Win11 and it's now working perfectly. From memory, there were two installation executables - one worked and the other didn't. Look back through the emails to see the previous discussions about this problem. You may need to remove Dropbox and re-instal it, using the other instal executable.
