Good news for Dropbox users! The full-fledged Dropbox app for Windows in beta version is now available for download on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. This means you can enjoy the complete Dropbox experience directly from your File Explorer and Taskbar.

Previously, only a limited version called “Dropbox Lite” was accessible on the Microsoft Store, but it worked only in Windows S mode. Now, that the full app is here, Dropbox has quietly released it to the Microsoft Store.

When you install Dropbox from Microsoft Store on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you’ll be prompted to uninstall the existing desktop app. After uninstalling, you can sign into your Dropbox account via a web browser and then resume the installation process on your desktop.

System Requirements:

To use the Microsoft Store version of Dropbox, make sure you’re running Windows 10 version 21H2 (build 10.0.19044.0) or higher. However, Dropbox recommends that Dropbox teams should continue using the desktop app for now.

With this release, Dropbox now has two apps available on the Microsoft Store. However, you cannot use both the Dropbox desktop app and the Microsoft Store app simultaneously. You’ll need to choose one. But if you prefer, you can use Dropbox Lite alongside the Microsoft Store app on supported Windows versions.

Do note, that the Dropbox app from the Microsoft Store does not support Microsoft Office add-ons.
