Dropbox no longer supports Windows 7. The minimum requirement is now Windows 8 or higher.
Dropbox worked for me a day ago. Since the beginning of 2022 he has also worked. Why he suddenly stopped breathing on Windows 7? I don't want to change the operating system because it works great. Is there a way to get dropbox working on Windows 7?
The link you alluded to states that Windows 7 is supported, yet you are saying it is not (which is true, it no longer installs on Windows 7). You guys might want to update your help files to remove Windows 7 from the compatibility list on that page. 🙂
Actually, I wish to amend my earlier statement. I spoke too soon. I just attempted to install the Dropbox desktop app on Windows 7 test desktop. It installed without a hitch and then proceeded to sync my files after logging in. So don't amend those help files, they appear to be accurate. 🙂
Very interesting. A few weeks ago I went through a 3 week ordeal with Microsoft trying to install Windows 11 on my aging Windows 7 desktop ending in failure. The reason I got in that mess was I because I was told that Dropbox is no longer supported for Windows 7.
My computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Dropbox has always worked well on it. But after yesterday's reinstallation of Windows 7 the Dropbox is not installed. How do I install Dropbox on Windows 7?
But I didn't understand what meant "Synchronization on the server witn no interactive session". If you mean that a text file can be opened and edited online, then this does not work, because the server requires I to download this file.
I have a home brew PC with an ASUS M2N-E motherboard & AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor circa 2008 that runs Windows 7. I have used it only occasionally since I built a new computer in 2019, running Windows 10.
My problem is that I'm a long-time Dropbox user and now it won't work with Windows 7 and I wasn't able to install Windows 11 on that machine. My guess is Windows 10 wouldn't install either. So I'm stuck with Windows 7.
The main problem is getting at my password safe, which is in Dropbox, when I'm using the Windows 7 machine.
Any ideas?
