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.

    I don't think you can.

    Looks to be the only version available on win 10.

    If you find a way I would love to know.

    Correct, it is a one way switch unless you want to reimage to go back to out of
    box configuration.
