Any success installing Dropbox on a Fire Stick?

I'm trying to get the Dropbox app working on an Amazon fire stick.  There's no way to do so via conventional means. That is, there doesn't appear to be a formal application release for the fire stick...

    Yes, the problem persists after re-installing Dropbox on my fire stick.  But I found a solution.  Problem solved. I can navigate the Dropbox app on my fire stick if I install the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV app per these instructions.  This little app turns the fire stick remote (after fast double-clicking the play button) into a mouse.  Then with the mouse functionality enabled, I can scroll through and work with the Dropbox app on the fire stick without a problem.  A second working solution is/was to install a third party file exploring app--one that lets one connect to a cloud storage account.  At this writing, ES Explorer is Amazon's default suggested file management app. But I don't recommend it. It's pricey. I much prefer Solid Explorer where this version installed okay on my fire stick.
