Hi. I'v having issues with logging into an existing dropbox account on a windows 7 pc.
If i roll back to version 15.4.22 I can see the login and I am able to enter my userid and password but then it tells me the version of software is too old and i need to download the lastest version.
I've tried the lastest version - 24.4.17 and all I get is a blank screen. I've tried a few different versions, 18,19 and 20 versions and get the same blank screen.
Anybody have this issue? Any solution for this?
I have the same issue here. New computer and I can not access any of my files. No way am I going to use a browser to do this.
Workaround.... I was installing 19.4.13 whilst logged onto the machine remotely using Remote Desktop Protocol. I had to log off go to the actual machine and install fromt he console. Looks like remote install is not possible. Lets hope this BUG is fixed ASAP.
BUG FIX PLEASE
The remote desktop connection seems to be the cause of the trouble I was seeing. Since the KVM switch on my desk died, I've had to use RDP connections to my test Windows computers.
This will get me going for most users using Dropbox, although seeing this work when connected via RDP would be MUCH better...
Very same issue here on my Windows 7, 64 bits desktop.
I tryed both local and via remote desktop. I tryed all version from 12.X to the lastest.
On older version, I got a login screen with a very different look, but I cannot login and I get an error message like "you are using an older version".
It seems the new mechanism used to build/draw the login screen has changed somewhere between version 15.X to 16.X and is causing the issue.
PLEASE FIX THIS.

OK, some progress here. It looks like this is a UI problem, with the login window fully functional apart from the rendereing of the signon dialog. On the basis of reading another post in here that suggests you just "pretend" the window is displayed I did the following (build 19.4.13):
Having the Same issues on a Windows 7 machine.
Have done the following to no Avail:
i am too scared to unlink the dropbox on another machine, as i fear to have the same issue.
Can Dropbox please perioritize this issue?
very Strange, but this was effective.
all the fields are present, but data fields not visible, dropbox deleoper team, take note and fix this?
Hello,
As a first step I would recommend downloading the latest stable version of the Dropbox app .
Then make sure that you use the latest drivers for your graphics card on your system. Please note that trying to install Dropbox in a VM software environment could cause such issues.
If the issue persists, please contact our Support Team and submit a ticket about this, we'll be happy to look into it further.
Thank you!
