Dropbox 226.4.5094 offline binary has superfluous in the filename

Hi Team, 

We are 3rd party patch provider like PatchMyPC or ManageEngine. We are providing similar services to our customers. We are willing to add latest "Dropbox" release to our catalogue and need help on below queries. 

The latest version of Dropbox 226.4.5094 offline installer has superfluous added in the name. Is this a stable version? Will the name for Windows 10 or later offline installers have superfluous in its name in future releases?

Thanks & Regards, 
Metadata,

    Hi MetaAdaptiva​,

    Sorry to hear about that!

    I've checked again with the team to confirm. I'll let you know when I hear back.

    Hi Neal Mc​ ,

    We have processed the 227.4.4774 version by renaming it to the regular standards. We could see that there is a major version 228.4.5567 released, and customers are experiencing problems with indexing.  Shall we process this release? Also, the naming still has superfluous in it.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi MetaAdaptiva​,

    The fix for this will be rolled out in the next release and the filename will return to the regular naming format. Keep in mind though in the meantime, you can change the file name yourself in the meantime.

    Hi MetaAdaptiva​,

    It actually looks like this was a bug that just affected the file name of the installer and it is currently being fixed.

    Hi MetaAdaptiva​,

    So I checked internally with the team and they advised they can't guarantee naming convention for stable builds in the future and the current one with "Superfluous" in the name will likely be updated and phased out.

    I hope this helps.
