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       Available    Source
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dropbox                     Dropbox.Dropbox          221.4.5365    222.3.4916   winget

That's a bit confusing, and it would probably be better just to put release versions there.

    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.

    Hey ataraxy, thanks for reaching out to us.

    The Dropbox version that appears on your screenshot is the most recent stable, not the beta one.

    You can see all the Dropbox versions on this page of our Community.

    If I've misunderstood you in any way, though, please let me know!
