You can install Dropbox from Windows 11 Store which runs 64 bit apps in emulation from the Store:

Hi Greg,

Thank you for taking time to reply. I currently have the apt from the store for dropbox S mode and see my files on dropbox.com.

I am not however able to install a version on my computer.

I work in CAD and need to keep a dropbox version on my desktop so I can launch files from my programs and save to them back as well

My Revit and CAD do not see the files since they are online, I've had to download individual files from dropbox to work on them then re-upload.

On my boot camp computer it's all automatic with the program on my computer .

I've tried everything - gone into the content folder and tried to select selective sync but it didn't change anything.

I was told my a Microsoft help agent that the problem is I've installed 11 arm64 and should be running x64 version.

He said I needed to go to parallels to change, but it's a windows issue and I don't how parallels can help me.

Can I just repurchase and install over it = thank you thank you for your help
