- Thank you so much!
Oddly enough, I tried downloading version 16.2.4, but when I look at what's installed, it says 28.2.2, and is working fine.Thanks that did the trick. First deleted my old Dropbox app from my tablet, then just downloaded and opened the "28.2.2 Version" and volah works like a CMAMP :laughing: :)
Like JediKaiti i use a samsung tablet running android 4.2.2 .
Is there a way of finding the right older version of dropbox for this android version without having to use trial and error?
Thanks

Hi Dutchie!
Great question!
Unfortunately, I haven't found a comprehensive source for this information, but you can usually deduce what version is appropriate by reading through old forum posts on various fora. The link below will give you a chronology of the various Dropbox for android versions, you can correllate that with the chronology of the Android versions to limit the possibilities.

The Android ecosystem has a ton of apps for your tablet, and a number of apps are optimized for larger screens. just download and install in your tablet from apk advisor
I downloaded an older version for my Motorola Xoom because my tablet was not compatible with the newer versions. At least it will let me sign in but then tells me my Dropbox is out of date and to go to Google Play to download the latest version which does not work.

Dropbox depreciated a lot of older API versions a few months ago.
Unfortunately if you cannot download a newer version you will need to just use the Dropbox mobile website.
Does Dropbox control the apks on this page? I'm a little worried about downloading a file with malware or a virus that's been added to the code.
Thanks,

Hi all; I hope this finds you well!
I'm afraid if your device doesn't meet our minimum requirements, you won't be able to install our official mobile app.
I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but I hope this helps clear things up.
Please let us know if you have any other Dropbox questions.
