Dropbox beta version appears on WinGet
Just letting you know that there is a beta version of Dropbox on the winget (Windows programme updater) system.

I got bit. Now I see that I don't have files in dropbox! No previous version in winget to go back.
Hopefully you can install and re-install using the installer at https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101003016/stable-build-221-4-5365/828833
Hi Hannah!
I think that you're looking at the version number for the installed version (the number in the Version column), not the version number for the available update (the number in the Available column).
The version number in the Available column is 222.3.4916, which is clearly a beta version: https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101003016/beta-build-222-3-4916/828973 and therefore, I don't believe that it should be released through winget.
Sorry that it's not a live link to the beta, but I get an error when I try to insert the URL with the Insert Link tool.
