Hi JenTo, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Do you have any other apps on your device that could prevent the update of the Dropbox desktop application?
These could be apps that monitor or change the Dropbox folder in some way.
Keep me updated with any progress! Hello there! Not that I'm aware of. Could you perhaps give me an example of programs that might interfere?
At one point before attempting reinstalling, I temporarily disabled my anti-virus/anti-malware program, but even then the desktop app would not install and ended with the same error message previously mentioned.
- JayFor instance, Boxifier in the past has been known to prevent the Dropbox desktop application from updating.
If the app hasn't been installed with admin privileges, there could be similar issues.
If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, you could try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link? Yes, I am on the Dropbox basic plan, and in devices I see my old phone (which I have now removed) and my current phone. Up until yesterday my computer was also connected and that is still not happening.
*Edited to add: I do see under "Connected Apps" my phone manufacturer (Samsung) and as far as I know, this was required on my old phone to connect to Dropbox, but I'm not sure it is required for my new phone. Is there somewhere I can find those permissions to check?*
I looked at the advanced reinstall instructions you linked to and I am not comfortable editing the registry on my computer. Also, since I uninstalled the desktop app, the linked Dropbox folder does not appear on my computer any longer.
Do I have any next step?
- As you can see, I am subscribed to Dropbox's basic plan, and the devices section shows that I have both my old phone (which I have now removed), as well as my current device. The computer that I have connected to the internet previously was connected as well. However, that is not the case any longer.
- Which browser is used cleared all history and cache or unstalled the current browser and installed again restart computer then used dropbox and enjoyed!
- if not working again then used another browser to start the dropbox and enjoyed.
Hi, I'm not sure what you are saying or how it relates to my issue.
I have no trouble accessing the Dropbox website. I'm trying to reinstall the desktop app on my computer.
So are you saying my only option is to use the Dropbox website?
Thank you for jumping in, Walter. Yes, I still need help reinstalling Dropbox desktop on my Win10Pro PC.
I keep getting the same error over and over again.
Please help, how to resolve this error.
