Installation fails for people from Serbia due to certificates - Solution (Windows)
I've noticed that Dropbox has been failing to upgrade from v112 to v113 last week. I've decided to uninstall it and try installing it manually, but the installer would stop with "Error 2" (v114 is also affected). Reading up on it I saw that that error means the issue is outside of Dropbox's control. I've dug up the…

Will Dropbox delete my local files?
Dropbox scares me. I just want to have a safe a place to keep my files, and access them from two or three different devices.
