Compatibility with MacOS Monterey 12.1

Hello, 

I recently purchased a MacBook Air with its system "MacOS Monterey 12.1". I tried to install the application Dropbox but every time I tried, my computer doesn't want to install it : the download starts but after a few minutes, it stops and states "The download couldn't be completed". 

I searched on the Dropbox website and it stated "If you want to run the Dropbox desktop application on your Mac computer, you need :

OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later up to macOS Monterey 12."

I wanted to be sure about one point : is the system MacOS Monterey 12.1 not compatible with dropbox, and thus I can't install it ? Is it juste a question of time before Dropbox is compatible with this system ? 

Thank you, 

 

Respectfully,

  • Hi Thibaut Seville, are you doing okay? 

     

    Can you also try the offline installer from this link?

     

    Let me know if you come across any issues when trying to install it. 

     

    Thank you!
