Windows

  1. Meta Installer pulls another executable to auto start installation
  2. Enterprise Installer
    1. Manual Installation (Requires local admin permissions)
    2. Remote Deployment (SCCM/GPO) Maybe PSTools?

macOS

  1. Contents are extracted from DMG and manually copied to the Applications folder
  2. Manual Installation (Requires local admin permissions)
  3. Remote Deployment (Casper Suite, Apple Remote Desktop)

Linux

  1. Manual installation (Requires local admin permissions)
  2. Standard Installer Package
  3. Download and install from Source Code

Client Download

The latest stable build can be downloaded from:

 dropbox.com/download
 dropbox.com/downloading
 dropbox.com/install

Things to note:

  • Beta builds are odd-numbered
  • The Dropbox website auto-detects the OS and downloads the correct installer
