Can't install Dropbox on Win 11 Pro - "download failed" error
After reinstalling my computer, same hard- and software, I can't install Dropbox. Tried all solitions, automatic and manual, without firewall, etc., to no avail.
Says it confirms the downloading failed. What so ever that means!
I had the same problem and using the offline installer worked 👍

Hi there, 01SK1975, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Have you tried installing the app using the offline installer, to see if that helps?
Keep me posted.

Tried using a different browser, first one was Edge. Now trying Brave it keeps waiting for download and retrying, until it also fails.

Yes, with same error.
"Confirmation that the downloaded file failed" ... probable it didn't download properly. The installationfile does so though.
