I am running Windows 10 Pro but my Dropbox is for S mode. How can I fix this?
Dropbox in S mode
Hi I have just purchased the Surface Go.
To use for work on the go - Email, editing my work website, word and excel.
Obviously not having full dropbox access will hamper my uses for using all my files.
This was a big reason for buying a windows tablet. But I don't immediately want to go out of S mode if it will cause issues down the line?
I can't see me needing to download any other apps after this. But from what I have read I can't just switch back after downloading the full version of Dropbox, is this correct?
Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks Adam

Hi adamcoogans,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community. Windows 10 in S mode is a version of Windows 10 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing. You may download Dropboxto this link or go check out your Microsoft Store app, in this way you dont need to switch out from S mode while having Dropbox.

If you find a way I would love to know.
