Installing Dropbox on new Microsoft Surface Pro is failing

I’m trying to install Dropbox and it stops in all different fazes of the download. Pushing Retry over and over.

    Hey JuanaM, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.


    May I ask if you're trying to install the Dropbox for S mode on Windows or the regular desktop app?

I am having the same issue with my new Surface Pro x, can I get that link that will make it work. I subscribed to dropbox specifically because I was getting this new computer.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

    I installed the S version from the windows store but it would not transfer data onto an app I need on the surface pro. So I uninstalled that and tried to download the standard version.

      Hey JuanaM!

       

      Were you able to download and install the desktop app via this link or are you still experiencing issues?

        When I downloaded the provided link it said that it was not compatible with this device. I just retried it. Same.
