The Dropbox for Windows update is focused on the changes introduced with Microsoft’s new sync API called cloud files. This update applies to Windows 11 (23H2 and above) and Windows 10 (22H2 and above) devices. To properly integrate with Windows going forward, the Dropbox sync engine was revamped to use the cloud files API.
Dropbox is constantly working to preserve the reliability and quality of the sync experience. The cloud files API is an update to previous OS integrations, making sync features like placeholders easier to maintain and more secure.
