The latest stable build is 159.4.5870 AFAIK
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-159-4-5870/td-p/628595Thank you so, so much! I don't know why Dropbox has links to old installers. I couldn't find this latest version anywhere.
- Shame you don’t have a working app for the M2 max and continue to post bs advice that doesn’t work
There is NO “within folder” spotlight search functionality with the latest dropbox on an M2 max. Spotlight indexes everything but can not search within - it can only find files by search entire HD - so you lose ALL folder/project specific search capabilities
None of the bs advice dropbox give, so far, works - it just wastes days of your time re-indexing.
