I cannot setup Dropbox Backup on my Basic account. Set up grayed out.
During installation I am encouraged to turn on the Dropbox Backup feature.
I would love to! Why can't I click "Set up" to continue?
Things I've tried:
- Click "Not right now"...

I go "manage backups" and then "open backup settings" which opens the app in my PC and has the same problem

Hi Wannachupbrew, welcome to our Community!
Now, based on the info you provided, it seems you're using our Beta version. This could be the culprit of your Backup issue.
As a first step, I would suggest that you downgrade from the beta version. You can go into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off. After that, install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application.
Keep me posted on the results!

Sorry, I should have also mentioned that I had the issue on the stable build too (170.4.5895) which is what made me try the beta to see if it was fixed. Just tried 170.4.5895 again and I'm still having the issue on both builds.
