Dropbox desktop app (NOT S mode)
Everytime I try any link to download the dropbox desktop app, the only file I get is for S mode.
I am NOT running in S mode. How do I get the regular desktop app for Windows?
Every location I've...
Hi Walter -- thanks for the quick response. I did previously find a similar link somewhere, but didn't get a successful install. Then, after over 10 install/uninstalls and several reboots, the small file did finally work. I tried so many different things, there's really no telling what exactly made it finally successful. Except that I did have a few friends watching me on zoom, and that always seems to make a difference when someone's actually watching! 😉 But I will say that there are quite a handful of people out there who have posted that they had the exact same issue. The file would only install S Mode, and then after lots of tinkering, it finally installed correctly. I don't know that anyone has been able to post a definitive solution as to what exactly caused it to finally work. Hopefully, if someone else sees this post, they'll give your download a shot before spending hours/days trying to figure out why they can only get S Mode installed.

What device are you trying to install on? If it doesn't have an x86-based processor (i.e. it has an ARM or other such processor) then you can't run the regular desktop application and will only get the app for S Mode. It's not because you're running in S Mode, but because your processor can't run applications meant for x86-based processors.
Hi Rich -- Thanks for the response. Don't think it was a processor error . . . pls see my response under Walter's response. Good to go now, but took a bit of frustration to get there! 🙂
