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 a couple of Enterprise Macs running Sierra 10.12.3, and I am unable to setup the Desktop app on them. On both I receive a Blank White screen after launching the application from the Applications Folder. I am currenty trying to install version 19.4.13. I thought the issue was the Mobile Device Management software we use, Airwatch, was the issue. After removing Airwatch however, the issue persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, yes (as of today). Looks like beta build 21.3.18 works properly over a remote desktop connection.
NOTE: you will need a 32-bit colormap to make it work. When I try to connect with a 24-bit colormap, it drops to 16-bit, and then I get the same blank sign-on window. With a 32-bit colormap ("-a 32" if you're using the Linux rdesktop client), the sign-on window looks as I would expect with visible data entry fields.

Hello @jperkins
In general we advise installing the latest stable version on your machine - using the Beta may lead to issues since they are experimental versions of the app.
Regarding the issue, I would recommend to first try disabling your antivirus , configure your firewall and then go to www.dropbox.com/downloading to refresh the installation on your device.

Tried that before contacting Dropbox support (who were helpful after my ticket was closed and reopened). Wasn't enough to make the "stable" client work properly over remote desktop connection. It would work fine if the user were logged in at the console of the computer in question without any firewall tweaks...I would expect firewall issues to break the client no matter where the client was run.

I get the same. I'm using Windows 7. Installation seems to go OK then get a "Set Up Dropbox" screen pop. Screen then gets 2 columns of numbers - possibly files sizes- then sticks.
