Dropbox no longer supports Windows 7. The minimum requirement is now Windows 8 or higher.
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?

As stated above, Dropbox no longer supports Windows 7. The installer will no longer work on a Windows 7 computer. Microsoft dropped support of Windows 7 two years ago.
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.

You previously posted on an unrelated topic. I moved your reply to your original topic to avoid confusion. The "no interactive session" is unrelated to your question.
It's even worse. You probably wont be able to install Windows 10 or 11 on your computer. I set out to upgrade my Windows 7 machine to Windows 10, but was advised to go for Windows 11. So I bought the Windows 11 USP stick. Worked with Microsoft support for 2 weeks but it wouldn't install. It just says my machine isn't capable of running it! I sent it back to MS for refund.

Windows 11 requires that your computer have Trusted Platform Module 2.0 support (though there are ways to install without it). Windows 10 didn't have this requirement and would likely install just fine for you. Most computers that ran 7 could run 10.
