Let us know of any updates!

I still can't get it to appear on my explorer.

Thanks for letting me know about this mbrendandyer.
It sounds like your device is not enabled to use our desktop application; could you let me know what kind of a computer this is? Is it running an ARM processor by any chance?

In any case, keep me posted on your progress!
Walter, I bought a brand new Lenovo 2 in 1 with a i7 processor and Windows 10. From the beginning, the micro store kept giving me the Dropbox S version. I tired using your links and the behavior is exactly the same for each app. There has to be a way to manually add the link isn't there?
