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.
>winget upgrade
Name Id Version A...
Please keep in mind that the packages on WinGet aren't being uploaded from our end.
Hi Megan!
Just getting in touch because this is still happening.
I'm pretty sure that the packages are being uploaded by Dropbox. Here's the information on the submission process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/package-manager/package/
And if they're not being uploaded by Dropbox, shouldn't Dropbox be concerned about that? If Dropbox isn't doing it, then it's taking the risk that something dodgy is submitted.
Hopefully you can find the people who are submitting it, one way or another.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi ataraxy, thanks for your reply.
We can confirm that it isn't a member of Dropbox who is uploading the files to Winget, and that said user can be found here.
It wouldn't be possible for us to moderate or control what files are uploaded to a third party site.
However, we do appreciate the feedback on this matter and we take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox services.
