    Hey LDrop, thanks for posting to our Community today.

     

    Can you clarify why you aren't able to install the Dropbox desktop app on your computer? Are you getting some kind of error message?

     

    If you click on this link, do you perhaps get a pop-up that suggests you install the S mode version instead?

     

    If so, there should be an option to skip this and continue to our website to install the desktop client.

     

    Can you try and let me know what you find?

     

    Thanks!

I'm trying to install Dropbox on a new laptop. When I click on the link to download the DropBox app, it doesn't give me the app, it opens a new Chrome window showing my Dropbox files. I'm running Windows 11 and uninstalled DropBox Lite as instructed. Please let me know where, or how, to get the DropBox app so that the files show up in my folders. Thanks.
