    Found the fix.  If you have the Surface Go, you need to switch out of S mode in Windows 10.  Then, you are able to download the DropBox application.

What's the processor for your tablet? While some Microsoft tablets have an Intel processor like regular comptuers, other versions of their tablets have an ARM processor. Regular desktop applications can't run on an ARM processor without emulation, and the Dropbox application will not run at all in such an enviroment.

 

If your tablet has an ARM processor, you'll need to use Dropbox for S Mode. The regular Dropbox application will not run on it.

    Thank you for your reply. How do I determine if my computer has an ARM Processor?

      Actually - I was able to find it and the Processor is an Intel (R) CPPU 4415Y @ 1.60GHz 1.61 GHz
