Not able to install the Dropbox Desktop App

[Editor2]

I have the latest version of Monterey for Mac (12.4). I need to install the Dropbox "Desktop app" for my new freelance job and while it drops into the downloads folder, it doesn't install. I have tried opening it many times. Any ideas on a workaround?

Many thanks!

Are you downloading it from here?

Hey @Editor2, thanks for letting us know about this.

Can you try the link that Rich gave you, to see if it works?

If not, try from this link as well.

I tried that link earlier to download Dropbox itself, which similarly did not work (the download did not install).  Finally, three days ago, I found a workaround on a users forum that involved logging in through Google and agreeing to share my Google contacts with Dropbox; I agreed in desperation but it felt ill-advised.  So I have the Dropbox application. Now I need the desktop app, or I can't work with this new employer. But it won't install.

Thanks!!

I have the same problem. I can't install the DB desktop app. Awful.

I am not able to install, even from the install link.

Hanna! The 2nd link worked. I think installing offline is the secret.

Thank you!

That link did not work for me.

Will this work? It saved me.
