Hi all,
I got the same answer "due to a third party app and they cannot assist". This is definitely not the case, but mostly a compatibility issue with Windows 10 and 11. We're looking for alternatives to Dropbox and this makes work very inefficient. Any alternatives here can anyone recommend?

I also haven't been able to use the preview pane for months now. It is very frustrating and very time consuming for work to not be able to preview any of my Dropbox documents. Megan, does Dropbox really not know how to fix this? Please help us!
Thank you!
