    Hi fourbanks, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you installing this for Windows or Linux? 

     

    Are you manually selecting the 64 bit version from this page?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Hi fourbanks, hope you don’t mind me jump in. 

     

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re on a Windows device, right? Can you please clarify the OS version you’re running? 

     

    Besides that, I’d like you to follow these steps and send me a screenshot of the bit version your computer is using, as well.

    Awesome, thanks for that! If you haven’t done so already, I’d like you to completely uninstall the Dropbox app and then reinstall it, while making sure you’re selecting the 64-bit option Jay linked above.

     

    Let me know if that seems to help.

    No worries, fourbanks. Can we log a ticket for you then and investigate further?
