You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Hi everyone,
I would like that in addition to the installation version for windows Desktop APP (already present), there was also a portable version (ie without installation).
What do you think?

Your idea will need a little more support before we share it with the team.
To encourage others to show some support we've updated the status!
Just to clarify your initial post a little, is there a way that the website wouldn't cover your needs, as this doesn't require installation?
How would you use a 'portable' version of the app that would be different to how the web works?

I also think it would be nice to have it. The point is that using the website there is no automatic synchronization of the files. I don't have administration rights in my work laptop, so I cannot install the desktop application. When I need to work on a file that I have on Dropbox, and I am at work, I have to download it from the website, work on it locally, and upload it back to the website. A portable application, without needing installation, would allow me to have a Dropbox folder on my work laptop, constantly synchronized.

I totally agree. I searched for alternatives but it seems there is nothing that offers such a service. Really would love a portable app.

I also absolutely need the portable version of dropbox for windows! I really hope you release it as soon as possible...
(for the same reason of giorgianig, I'm looking for it desperately)
