Dropbox stops running on Windows Server 2012
Hi. We run Dropbox on several Windows Server 2012 R2 machines (and 2008 before that). We find that after a few days of normal operation Dropbox unexpectedly stops running, but starts again if we open the local Dropbox folder. Any ideas out there?
- Make sure you are running the latest versions, however, please also note that Dropbox is not actually supported on Server 2012 (infact it isnt supported on any version of Windows server).

Even with it's unpredictability it's still worth persevering with as the core functionality of Dropbox is just great!
Hello,
From searching through the forums and reading this post I understand that windows server 2012 is not supported but the desktop app does run on it,
My problem is, that after installing and running the desktop version (and now trying v21.3.23bate) it is in the tray but the "set up dropbox" screen is stuck and does not appear like on my PC which shows the "congratulations" screen...
but If it works on server 2012 - what am I missing ?
Hi Ofra. I'm afraid I have no experience of Windows desktop, but I can re-affirm that, although not formally supported, it runs well enough for my needs on our three Windows 2012 servers. -Geoff
