Apps and Installations

I am running a brand new Macbook pro on the latest OS. I have downloaded the installer file without issue, but when I run it, it says "the download failed" instantly. It retries every 10 seconds and fails. I have checked the FAQs and checked the security settings but there is no firewall or anti-malware software running. I have tried follwing the link to the offline downloader at https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?type=full but then the download does not start. If I click "restart download" I get a 404 file not found error in the browser.
I can't be the only person with this issue. I have both a personal and a business account on my user account, could this be causing an issue?
I'm sorry. I don't know what you did to fix this but it doesn't work. The downoad absolutely does not work on my computer no matter what link I use. I'm running Sierra 10.12.2.
I still can't install it. I keep gettin this message: Installation failed. The Dropbox installer failed to start. Would be gret if some could help with it.
Not fixed. I'm setting up my new MacBook Pro, all software up-to-date. I'm an experienced Mac user and Dropbox user, and I can't get any of the recommended links to work. Stumped! Thanks for your help.
A full download is available from CNET: http://download.cnet.com/Dropbox/3000-18511_4-10905555.html
It worked for me.
Glad you found how to fix it.
