Hey there @shanny242 - welcome to the Dropbox Community!

 

Let me give you some more context on this now please. The “Connect a Computer" feature is an optional way to install the desktop app to your computer by getting the process started on your mobile device. You should be able to just cancel out of the screen at any point.

 

If you're unable to scan the QR code with your device, you can just install onto your computer by downloading the installer that suits your computer from this page

 

I hope this helps and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!

Hey @hime - what are you trying to do to begin with?

If trying to install our desktop app, just download and run the installer from this page directly: https://www.dropbox.com/downloading 

Let me know if I'm missing something here and happy Monday!
