    Dropbox doesn't support Windows Server operating systems.

     

     

    Dropbox is meant to run on each person's computer; not as a service on a server. There can be complications with syncing if the Dropbox folder on a computer is accessed across a network, potentially causing files to not sync as they're updated on the server. Dropbox just wasn't meant to run like that.
