Impossibile avviare Dropbox su Windows

È da ieri che sto provando a installare l'app desktop di Dropbox su Windows 11. A fine operazione, dopo il login attraverso il sito, ottengo un errore generico "Impossibile avviare Dropbox. Potrebbe trattarsi di un errore temporaneo. Riavvia Dropbox" con annesso anche un file txt col rapporto di errore.

L'app rimane per un tempo indeterminato su "aggiornamento account Dropbox in corso" (l'ho lasciato andare per più di un'ora), ho già provato a seguire i passaggi per corregge le autorizzazioni e ho già disinstallato, riavviato il sistema e reinstallato il programma con l'installer online e anche offline, ma il risultato è sempre lo stesso. Qualcuno può aiutarmi?

 

Version: 187.4.5691

 

Since Yesterday I'm trying to install the Dropbox desktop app on Windows 11. After installing and logging into the site, I get the error "Can't start Dropbox. This error might be temporary. Restart Dropbox" with a report .txt attached. The app then remained stack on syncing for almost an hour.

I already tryed to fix hardlinks and permission in the preferences menu and uninstall and reinstall via online and offline installer, but the problem didn't solve. Can anyone help?

    Hi Ikari, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you copy and paste the text in the error log in order to see why the app isn't loading?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
