Hello,
I'm trying to use dropbox on a windows server 2008.
The installation is working fine but then when opening the software to sign in I only have a a blank black window.
I already know that it's not a supported OS but it was still working fine last year and I need it.
I have tried many tricks but I can't find a solution.
If you have a working solution, please let me know.
Thank you

You still have 2008 windows?
 
I have the same issue before. Almost forgot how i got it working. Try this.

Familiarize the GUI of dropbox login window try clicking within the window you might hit the login textboxes and type the email and password if you need to go to the next textbox just hit that TAB button. Yeah, I got it working by doing that.

When you are logged in, There are times it will stop working. Just run it again as admin.

Or better yet upgrade to 2012
