I am facing the same problem while installing the latest version of dropbox.

I tried all the possible ways to solve the problem, but still not solved and showed the same error again and again.

    Hey indraj436, sorry to hear about this.

    Just to clarify, have you performed an advanced reinstall yet? 

    Note that if you're on the Basic plan, there's a limit on the devices you can connect to your account. If you have more than 3, you'll need to remove any that are putting you over the limit and try to install the desktop app anew. 

    Keep us posted!

        Hey humus, thanks for joining the discussion and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

        Since this persists after an advanced reinstall, I'd recommend getting in touch with our support team as they'll be able to assist further with account and device specific information.

        You can also let me know your ticket ID in order for me to look it up in our system.

      Did anyone ever receive a resolution for this error code when trying to install Dropbox?
       
      I am using a new computer, Win 11, not in S mode.
       
      Please help.
       
      Here's another thing... I can't find where to put a good reply email address in my profile... so please use [email removed as per Community Guidelines]

      Hi Walter

       

      Yes, I have tried the advanced reinstall, but still facing the same problem.

      I am on the basic plan but using only three devices.
