    Hello AitchP,

    Please be informed Dropbox desktop app doesn't support ARM processors on Windows operating systems, except for on Windows in S mode.

    You may obtain this Dropbox version via this link

    Alternatively, you may install Dropbox on your host Mac and share your Dropbox folder by following the steps provided below:

    1. Shut down the Virtual Machine. Make sure that the virtual machine is shut down. If it is in a suspended state, please run it and then shut down (Actions > Shut Down).
    2. Open the Virtual Machine's Configuration:
    2.1. Click on the Parallels Desktop icon in the Mac menu bar and select "Control Center".
    2.2. Click on the cogwheel icon, next to your virtual machine.
    For additional information on how to open virtual machine configuration, please check: https://kb.parallels.com/117287

    3. Open the "Sharing" tab -> tick the option "Share cloud folder with Windows".
    4. Start your virtual machine -> open "File Explorer" -> click on "This PC" in the left column.
    5. You should see the "Dropbox" drive. You can right-click and select "Pin to quick access" for more convenience.
