Please note, some user's may run into the following issues with the new release.

Here is what to do if you notice the following:

Relying on compatibility mode to run Dropbox, but being locked out by a Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 EoS dialog.
‼️Customers that do not rely on compatibility mode for a functioning dropbox should not follow this mitigation procedure. ‼️

Install Dropbox:
- After installing Dropbox, you may see a popup. If you do:
- If you see the popup:
  Click “Continue in compatibility mode.” You will also see a message saying that Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 is not supported. You can ignore this warning and click “Ok.”
- If you don't see the popup and are experiencing issues (like "network connecting" or "sync not working"):
  - Follow the steps below to enable compatibility mode for Dropbox:
Enable Compatibility Mode:
- Exit Dropbox Completely:
  - Make sure Dropbox is fully closed by quitting the application.
- Find Dropbox Executable:
  - Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe and right-click on the Dropbox executable. Select “Properties.”
- Change Compatibility Settings:
  - In the “Properties” window, click on the “Compatibility” tab.
  - Set compatibility mode to an older version of Windows. Start with Windows 8, and if that doesn't work, try Windows 7. Older versions may not work.
- Restart Dropbox:
  - After changing the settings, start Dropbox again and follow the earlier instructions (step 1).

This beta update worked for me if I enabled Compatibility settings set to Win 7. I have not tried Win 8. (I'm running Win 11 Pro). I was able to get all of my files synced and app is now running and stable. Hooray!
