    Hey CalinS - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    I'm afraid that your setup isn't actually supported so we can't help much, but feel free to let us know more information as some other user might be able to assist further. 

    I wish I had a better answer than this.

    When you say that my setup is not supported, do you mean that Dropbox doesn’t support Windows Server 2025?
