A quick search on Google gave a few results pointing to Nord's Threat Protection being the issue. You may need to add Dropbox to an allow list if you have Threat Protection turned on.

I can't offer a location for downloading APK files, but just a little bit of research on Google will find what you need. I'd start by…

Haliph wrote:Dropbox won't open the app, only the finder window. What icon are you clicking on? If Dropbox is already running and you click the icon to launch it, it opens the Dropbox folder in Finder. Make sure you're clicking on the small Dropbox icon located in your menu bar, near the clock, to open the app itself.

DavidBdos wrote:I actually have a new kindle enroute and am regretting that purchase if Dropbox won't work on it. It's been a long time (10 years maybe?) since Dropbox was listed on the Amazon App store and officially supported the Kindle. I don't see them reversing that decision after all these years, but the only way…

How are you testing that the link allows for editing? Has someone actually been able to edit the file? If so, is it changing your copy of the file or only theirs?
