    I have installed and uninstalled dropbox many times, does not work. Reseeting PC didn't work. At last I have format my c-drive and installed windows. Now Its working. Installing windows to run an application nobody likes. I request the developer to add a powerful uninstaller to dropbox which may ask user to remove dropbox completely while uninstalling.

      Thanks, Brno.

       

      If you have any antivirus, VPN, firewall, proxy, etc. that might be blocking the Dropbox app, can you also try to disable those temporarily, to see if it helps?

        Nothing is blocking install Dropbox, and I try to install FULL install - it means, I needn't download any part data to install... Install file has size about 180MB. Nothing's changed in system before I try to re-install Dropbox, it worked many years...

         

        I have file "DropboxUpdate.log-2023-10-20-08-59-12-432-7896-finished" after one try to install...
