How do I upgrade to the latest version of the Dropbox application?
If you want to have the latest stable version of Dropbox, you don't have to do anything! Dropbox will silently update itself in the background.
To tell which version of Dropbox you're using, simply hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray. A small dialog box will appear with the latest version. You can also find the version number by visiting your Dropbox preferences and selecting the Account tab. The Dropbox version number appears in gray.
If you don't have the latest version yet, don't worry! Auto-upgrades are rolled out over the course of several weeks after a new update is available. We're very conservative about auto-updating. We never want to risk breaking a working version of Dropbox.
Manually upgrading
If you haven't been upgraded (or aren't sure) and you're ready to go, simply install the latest version of Dropbox from the install page.
Testing the forums version
We use the Dropbox forums to post the latest versions of Dropbox. We rely on enthusiastic people in our forums to try the very latest versions of Dropbox and send us feedback. This helps us to work out all the kinks before we update everyone else. If you like to be on the cutting edge, strap on a helmet and visit the forums for the very latest in-development version of Dropbox.
