Backdoor/bootleg way to download & install Dropbox on latest Kindle Fire Max 11 tablet?
I have the Dropbox app on my previous tablet, the Fire HD 10. At one time Dropbox was in the Amazon app store (analogous to Google Play store). It's not there any more. The Kindle is an Android devic...
The Fire Max 11 tablet runs the Fire OS 8.3.2.7. The Kindle Fire OS version 8.3.2.7 is based on Android 11. Amazon's Fire OS is a modified version of Android with its own customizations and doesn't include Google services by default, though it is generally aligned with the core Android version it's based on.

My Fire HD 10 tablet, which does have the Dropbox app installed, runs Kindle Fire OS version 7.3.3.0 is based on Android 9 Pie. Fire OS 7, in general, aligns with Android 9 and includes Amazon’s customizations and app ecosystem but lacks Google services by default.

You'll be better off doing a Google search on how to sideload apps on a Kindle. Of course, you'll need access to the APK file for Dropbox, which they don't offer for direct download. Maybe you can find it on your HD 10. Be careful if you choose to download it from unofficial sources as it could be compromised.
Thanks. I'll research that.
