IPv6 addressing
The Dropbox desktop app supports connecting on networks that use IPv6 addressing.
Requirements:
- An updated version of the Dropbox desktop app
- A working DNS64/NAT64 gateway
Dropbox automatically detects the address protocol in use on the network. If your internal network uses IPv6 addresses, then the desktop application operates within this environment.
Dual-stack (or native dual-stack) IP implementation
With a dual-stack IP implementation where both IPv6 and IPv4 are available, Dropbox uses the IPv6 network by default. If IPv6 addresses are slow to resolve, the app defaults to IPv4.
